Hi from the C Club

You asked for your shot to be critiqued!

First off, fantastic colours, the warmth and depth of the colour really brings out teh thoughts of crisp mornings, apple pies and warm fires. Your lighting is very good as well.

I think that the only nitpick that i have is that it is such a powerful image that the bottom being out of focus throws you off. Would have liked to have seen that as tack sharp as the rest of the shot it. Also the water drop, it neither makes the shot worse or better, it is one of those could be coudnt be there not going to hurt the shot.

Overall , very pleasing shot, well done

Hello from the Critique Club;
I like that you went a slightly different direction than many of the other entries. Your entry is almost diametrically opposed- your subject is broken, dingy, and the frame is exceptionally cluttered. The other shots were very clean, simple entries, many appearing or consisting of studio shots. The realness of your photo really sets it apart from the others. Besides, I can’t help but commending you for managing to approach an “appliance” challenge from a street photography stance ;)
The black and white conversion seems to be pretty good. One thing, though, is that I might like to see the whites a little bit more white with some simple work in curves. Your border choice works very well here for the subject matter, and strengthens your composition, which I’m also fond of. In all honesty, there isn’t a lot I would recommend changing on this, because your mood and subject perfectly reinforce each other. Your shot isn’t as pretty as some of the others, but then, it isn’t supposed to be, now is it?

Beautyful picture, BUT, an abstract image is not representing or imitating external reality or the objects of nature
