Greetings from the Critique Club
First Impressions:
This is a cool looking abstract but I don’t know what I am looking at.
Technical (Comp, lighting, color, focus, Processing):
The composition works well for this shot and I like how you have different shapes and colors going on throughout the image.
The lighting seems a bit weird, not bad but I am guessing this is just the natural light on the subject. I would like to see a bit more lighting to give this image some pop and a bit of contrast.
The colors are nice sea tones but they could use a little boost to really grab my attention, nothing over the top just maybe a bit of saturation.
I don’t really see any issues with the focus at all. As for your processing it doesn’t look like you really did much. All I would suggest is to try and bring out the colors a touch and get more contrast in the shot.
Challenge:
Meets the challenge but I think some voters didn’t get what they were looking at and I don’t think your title really helped much.
Artistic/Emotion:
This was a nice abstract and a different take on the subject. It is always nice seeing different views on a challenge.
Summary:
This shot was pretty well done but it could use a boost to grab the voter’s attention. In a challenge with so many vibrant landscapes this, sadly, is just lost in the mix. You got a few good votes I am guessing from voters who appreciate the abstract. In the end this finished about where I would expect it to on DPC. A solid 5 to me is a good shot that just lacks impact or a shot that doesn’t fit in the DPC mold. I encourage you to keep up with the different views on the challenge and just work a bit on some technical issues.
