Hi, Critique Club here...
Great interpretation on the challenge theme - very creative.
I think you did a great job exposing for the sheep while keeping the white snow white and not blown out. I like that the three sheep in front are looking at you.
But there is something, I think compositionally, that is not fully engaging me and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Maybe it's that the three main figures are too centered. Maybe they are too linear and in a predicable pose in relation to the camera. Maybe it's the sheep on the left that is looking out of the frame and creating an implied line that my eye wants to follow. To be honest, I'm not sure what the missing piece is.
A couple thoughts.
1) try cropping the sheep that's not paying attention out, that would eliminate that distraction as well as move the main group off center.
2) get low for a more dramatic angle. People get used to seeing things from eye level so shooting from a different angle gets our attention.
3) maybe isolate just a few (usually use odd numbers in composition) to provide a stronger focal point to engage the viewer.
Not saying that any of the above are right, just food for thought.
If I had voted in this challenge, I would have given this a 6.
Hopefully this is somewhat helpful for giving you things to consider.
Keep having fun! |
