...from Critique Club...
Hi Andrea
FIRST IMPRESSION:
Not very interesting :(
COMPOSITION:
I think your shot would have worked better if you had taken it from a different angle...perhaps straight down 90 degrees. This would have eliminated the edge of 'the sidewalk?' at the top of the photo. Also, I kinda like the shapes created on the ground, and if you had taken the shot so that the lines would all be horizontal/vertical instead of angled it would have made it more interesting. :(
TECHNICAL:
The overall lighting seems a bit poor. I'm not sure if you had a chance to control that or not. Focus seems a bit off. These could have been tweeked a bit in post processing (if available) by lightening the image and increasing contrast a bit. :(
ARTISTIC:
The idea is very original. I understand how you tried to show motion by capturing a bunch of footprints. There is perhaps too much 'other stuff' on the snow which is a bit distracting and makes the shot a bit too busy. Great attempt, though. :|
OVERALL:
I think with a bit of compositional and technical improvement this could actually be a decent shot.
Best of luck in the future. Don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions about this critique.
Cheers...zadore. |

Hmm... a very different take on the challenge. Creative! The photo could be a bit better technically. E.g. I would have cropped out the upper part and maybe shot from a more direct angle. The lighting is a bit weak also but I think you couldn't setup an array of lamps in the middle of the street. ;-) But I think you fulfilled the challenge perfectly. -stephan

| An unusual approach to a motion study. |

| While not terribly exciting to look at, it does show that there was motion there once upon a time. The title doesn't really make sense to me, but then again, it doesn't have to. The focus seems to be in only a very small area. In the middle of the photo. With this particular shot, I think I would like to see it with full focus. Or at least from the middle all the way to the bottom of the photo. Good luck in the challenge. |

| The bit at the top needs to go. Focus goes a bit soft at the bottom. I'd prefer to have the footprints as an interesting foreground to the church that (presumably) is the destination. |

| Focus isn't really very consistant. Lighting is OK. 6 waltoml. |

| it might have been fun to see this shot taken from a POV lower to the ground |

| I really like the alternative take on the challenge. It looks a little buzy, try selecting one or two of the prints and focusing on them. |
