You have a pleasing skyline - nice shot. Sky is pretty blah - too bad there's not more blue and clod definition. I think you missed the point on the miniature object.

Your miniature tools are perfect. The image is very well setup and technically well done. Perfect exposure and focus. Composition is a bit centered and I'm not sure the bright yellow background works as well as a very dark or black one would.

Hi Haraldur and Greetings from the Critique Club.

The DPC band challenge was an awesome collection of imaginative and creative submissions. So first, please don't feel bad about your placement - the competition was fierce.

Your image has a lot going for it - a nice idea, well laid out. The placement of the single blue drop is great.

The things that detract from the image is the focus and lighting.

You shot at f4.0 which cased a really shallow depth of field. If you have a tripod, try the same shot again, but taken at the highest aperture you have. Or, try to shoot so that all the pearl drops are about the same distance from the focal plane. (More of a looking down from the top perspective.)

The harsh lighting caused many areas of over exposed highlights or glares. Instead of a halogen light, could you take the studio setup outside - or at least close to an outside window? The lighting should be less harsh and should remove the really bright areas.

Keep shooting and entering.

GREAT! Perfectly exposed and composed - and humerous to boot.

While there is a subtle blue cast, the yellow oof shape grabs all the attention. The title fits perfectly, but I don't think the image has much photographic merit.

Blue Saguaro Moon

A valient effort. The blue sky is great but there are several serious flaws. Everything is soft, not in focus. The moon and cactus are dead centered.
