*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A straightforward image that fails to meet the challenge.
I think I can understand your thinking behind the concept for this image but a successful entry needs to convey its meaning much more readily through the image itself and the title. Your entry requires the voter to get inside your head and given that they don't have your comments for guidance this is a big ask.
As regards the image itself, the lighting is a little harsh with some blown highlights on the backlit leaves. The black debris at the base of the trunk does not help in conveying a natural scene but it is not a major element. I think this would have more impact if you had adopted a ground level view that emphasised the leaves and their colour with the base of the trunk in distant soft focus. I'm sorry to say, it is just not an interesting enough image to keep the viewer's attention.
Anyway, thanks for your entry Marcel and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid. |
