Greetings from the Critique Club.

I feel you've been a little short changed having me do the critique considering I'd already commented during voting.

As you know already, I believe this to be suffering from a lack of sharpness/focus. Looking at your settings I would say using 1.8 wasn't perhaps the best for getting a sharp image. I am wondering if you were not using a tripod? I think not when looking at those settings.

Had the image been in focus I probably would have bumped the score up a bit, because it would have been a nice colourful still life, which clearly met the challenge.

Hope this is vaguely helpful.
Sarah

focus feels off. It's not out of focus enough for it to feel like it was an artistic choice, but not sharp enough either.

nice setup - it would fit even more to the title if the mask would just lie there randomly
