Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club
First Impression: Looks like a last minute 'oh, theres a spider eating a moth, that will do for the life and death challenge' type shot?
Composition:The composition is quite good with the spider nicely off centre and its shadow filling the lower part of the frame.
Subject:Yup, meets the challenge well though am guessing this shot wasn't appealing to a;ll the spider haters.
Technical: Sadly, this is the area that lets this image down, the lighting is uneven, casting poor shadows and the image looks flat to me though not sure a simple contrast boost would lift it enough. Nothing is in sharp focus here, the closet bits are the hairs on the leftmost leg.
Final thoughts: I hate using the term 'snapshot' on challenge submissions but thats what I feel here. That said I can't seem to get a good result from these critters. I know this was a serendipitous moment but for challenge entries you need to take more care about the setup/lighting/composition etc. On a lighter note if you'd left your apartment to shoot your free study shot without seeing this little guy you'd have forgotten your camera :) |
