Hi Mark,
Greeting from the Critique Club...
Congrats on your first entry and Welcome!
I feel your entry has a unique composition -- the tenuousness of the main subject creates a great tension in the shot. You have used out-of-focus areas (green foreground and background) to set your subject(s) agains well. The predominately green tones also set your subject(s) apart.
The washer would be a stronger subject if lit to stand out more from the background (not a lot but just a bit more). The shell isn't background but rather a key element so it needs space under the shell to avoid a chopped-off feel.
Please e-mail me with any questions you have on my comments.
Regards,
Theresa |

Nice shot. I think a more contrasty background would help set off the rusted doughnut better. |

Creative subject. The lower cropping is a alittle distracting as the shell's cut off feels unatural. Great depth of field. |

Very nice greens in both rock and shell. I almost see them in the rust itself. Very nice relaxed mood to this piece with a good balance in all areas of light and dark, and focus and diffusion. I would like it somewhat better I suspect if a little picture were available below the shell.

really nice composition, very unusual. I do think though shadows could have been brighter and a bit of sharpening wouldn't have gone amiss. |

This is a nice picture with good colors in it and good DOF the rusty stuff looks good, but somehow I dont think the shell fits in there, often simple is better, would like to see it without the shell, Good luck :) |

Intriguing image. It looks a bit precarious, perched as it is. |
