...from Critique Club...
FIRST IMPRESSION:
Out of focus!
COMPOSITION:
I actually find the composition quite attractive. There is a nice balance between the white and blue. The position of the cig packs actually makes this an interesting shot. :)
TECHNICAL:
This is where we have a major problem. I like soft focus images when it adds to the photo, but in this case it ruins it...big time. Closing your aperture might help with this, so you get more DOF. If this is a result of you being so close to the subject, then try setting your macro, or shoot a wider shot from further away and then close-crop. Lighting seems fair. :(
ARTISTIC:
I think you did a fair job in observing the contrast on the packs' colors and the pattern they formed. Nothing interesting about cig packs, but you managed to play on geometry and color and did a fairly good job. :|
OVERALL:
Interesting composition of a 'boring' subject that had potential to be quite good, but lost point on it being out of focus. Worth trying again, and perhaps make a series with diff color packs.
Cheers. |

| i hate to say this, but it does look a little blurry. hopefully a simple unsharp mask could fix this. composition is ok, colors are ok. generally, other than that its a pretty decent photo. 6 |

| Nice idea. The lack of focus is unfortunate. Great angle and repetition, though. muckpond |

| Good composition, to bad for the very poor focusing this image requires. |

| Great concept, maybe a bit more of the shot needs to be in focus |

| Took me a long time to figure out that these are cigarettes, and I smoke. They are not a brand I've ever seen and the focus is off till I couldn't read what they were. Need to be much sharper. Good title and composition, just needs better execution. PTL> |

| This photo is not in focus, and I do not see why you would have wanted otherwise. |

| First of all I have to say I am very against cigarettes! I hate them with a passion and don't think they should be legal, I'm sorry, but I had to say that. Now for the photo... Excellent framing, I love the way you have cropped it, and made it look. I think the focus is a little off... I know the back is supposed to be more in focus, but it still looks slightly blurry at least on my screen. Excellent colors! I really like it, and the lighting is good, I see no hotsports or dark places. Nice job! Good luck. |
