Critique Club Review:

Color, Saturation and Hue: Colors are good, saturation is accurate, and skin tones are realistic.

Brightness and contrast: The image is not overly bright. But at the same time, the white material behind the hands is blown out and featureless for the most part.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is very good. I really like the detail found in the hands. Depth of field is a bit shallow, as it is soft near the front of the image. I would have liked the pins sharp, rather than soft.

The scissors are distracting and lead the eye out of the image.

I think you really tried to do too much here. The center piece of this image are the hands. Those are terrific hands, and nothing else should be in the way.

I would love to see this done again, with some cloth that has a little color, and just a needle and thread, and those great hands. You have the bones of a very powerful picture here. Keep at it.

i would have moved the scissors so the bottom of your frame wouldn't be so distracting

Seems a little too cluttered around the hands, although I guess you may actually work like this :)

Personally I think the pink thread and the tape measure could be taken out this scene and it would have a bit more impact and still scream dress maker / seamstress.

good details and focus on the fingers - the set up looks real not staged
