Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hi Marcel! I gave this a 6 during voting. Lighting is very nice, not harsh but shows detail, also the dof does that well too. My own personal nitpicking aside - this equipment isn't worn enough to belong to a working cowboy, they are very tough on their gear and it has to stand up - I just feel that the rope isn't a dominant enough element. The lightness of the rope does draw attention to it, but otherwise it's just a bit player, not the star of the shot.
I find that the boots grab my attention first. Then the hat. Then the gloves. Then the rope. I've been to many rodeos now, and you will see that cowboys keep their ropes in a big round box like a hatbox, so as to not scrunch it out of shape. Also too remember what I've said about simplifying - the boots and rope alone would probably have been enough, even better if you had an older floor or made dof more shallow to blur out the relatively new-looking floor.
Hope this helps!
