Hello and greetings from the Critique Club. You asked for an in-depth critique of your image, and here it is:
Seriously - 4th place - how can I possibly give you any constructive criticism? The clarity and the BW tones of this image are outstanding. You said yourself that the crop is a little different than Weston, however, I feel it works for your subject really well. The hairs near the artichoke heart are a bit blown, but clearly, that affected nothing. I think it actually adds visual interest by creating contrast to the darker bottom part of the image.
I'm groping. It's a great photo. Congrats on a wonderful placement.
Best,
Alicia |

| Most excellent - delighted to be sharing the page with you. I'm laughing because our images are such polar opposites: yours is so delicate and bird-like, mine is a bit of a large hippo... |

| We both did the artichokes, and I knew immediately when I saw yours that it was the better one. Congratulations on the top 10! |

| amazing detail but, most of all the light is perfect which allows the b/w to shine. Very much on topic, IMO. 8 |

| Nice, but I would have preferred a deeper crop as there's a lot of black space. Also, because it's an advanced editing challenge you could have |

| Very cool artichoke. Amazing detail and exposure. (Better than Weston's stuff.) |

| Wonderful detail in this artichoke! Think a more contrasty image (deeper blacks) would've made this POP!! |

| Yes. I love the contrast, lighting, perspective, and framing. I just think you show too much of the subject making it too easy to identify right away. The dark area towards the bottom of the subject provides a secondary and contrasting focal point that makes it feel like too much is going on, especially for a Weston. |

| Excellent recreation. Inverting it makes it your own. Love the light and the fabulous detail. Hope you ate it afterward :-) (not voting) |
