Greetings from the Critique Club...
Meeting the challenge in this particular contest is sort of a given, so in order to do well, there are a couple other requirements. I can see the relationship between your band name and your photo, but beyond that, the image doesn't provide any significant impact to the viewer (me). Your focus on the subject is good, but compositionally, the image simply lacks interest. The cage corner in the lower left portion of the frame blocks the subject and creates, for lack of a more refined term, a distraction within the frame. It's unfortunate that you didn't receive any feedback on this image in the challenge that is worth reading, but that seems to happen frequently on images that are not 'bad' but not 'good' either. Middle of the road images don't garner much in the form of comments from the walmart shoppers.
As with any photograph, high levels of visual and/or emotional impact are the foundations for building a strong photo. |
