Critique Club #165 - Old Yet reliable
Composition - A belt and some nice "broke-in" blue jeans. I'm not sure what the title is referring to exactly here, but I'm going to think that it's the jeans. I don't see anything here that is bothering me, but also nothing that is intriguing. I don't know how to say this any different, but as much as it pains me to say this, this photo is just not terribly interesting to me. The lighting could be a little more dramatic for effect. As it is the lighting is pretty flat.
Background - The only background is this little bit of table underneath the jeans. This is pretty neutral and is not terribly distracting or anything. The only idea to change this at all is to put a bright colored flannel shirt or something western underneath it to provide a little more color to the picture but nothing neon fluorescent as to distract from it.
Camera Work - Focus, DOF, lighting all seem to be pretty good. I don't know of any other way to frame this differently. This looks pretty good to me.
Post-processing - I might have boosted the saturation a little to make it stand out a bit more, or even darkened it a little to make it a bit more dramatic, but really doesn't NEED anything done to it.
Overall - For reference purposes, I finished 157th probably for the same reason I've listed here- My subject wasn't terribly interesting. The alternative I've thought of to make this a more effective picture would dramatically change the composition of the picture. Most of them have to do with perspective changes. I apologize for not being more helpful here. - Maybe I can be more helpful in the future - Inspzil |

| Does the title refer to the jeans, the TV station, or the wearer? |

| The older the better, more comfortable. Like the touch of the hole in the jeans. Wish the buckle was turned right side up so I could read it. That takes away what the hole adds. Technically the photo is right on. The buckle really messes it for me. Sorry PTL |

| the belt by itself would have been more interesting. |

| Nice picture... I lknow there are a few pairs of blue jeans I could never give up! The faded blue is nice, but actually I wouldn't have included the belt in the picture... I don't think it adds to it. I like it on the wood surface! Good luck! |
