Critique Club...
Yup this is definitely a strange land :-) I love the idea behind this picture... its similar to a sledding picture with sleds on the body, but this is such a cool idea! :-) The first thing I really notice is how much I like the composition here! I really think you did an excellent job with that! I also like the white background, it makes it almost look like snowy hills or maybe a bunch of clouds, I like the extra texture that background puts into the photo. Your dof is pretty good here, I like the way the front of the picture is just slightly blurred, so you can't tell what it is until you get closer to the "fishing hole". I think this is a neat effect. The one thing that really takes my eye away from the photo as a whole is the tape that is holding the fisherman up.... I'm not sure what you could have done there... but it is slightly bothersome... though I understand why you had to put it... The fisherman is kind of weird the way you can clearly see his shirt, but not his face... I think this would have been better if either you could see the details in the fisherman, or you could just see a sillouhette of the entire little guy. I do like the fish though. I wonder how this picture would have looked in black and white? It might have been a neat thing to try. Overall I definitely think your picture got your idea across. Its an adorable photo, that I think should have had a better score! Nice job. Good luck in future challenges!
Great idea! I did something sort of similar. You need to work on your props more ( the pedistal the man is standing on, the string not coming from the tip of the pole and the fish seems oddly hooked) and he needs to be much clearer (very hard, but do-able!) Model needs to loose the recently worn clothing look and a more sky/mountains/trees background. Skin color is very good. 7 Swash
