Hello from the Critique Club :)
Well, you obviously did well in this one - you placed in the top 26th percentile and it's your highest scoring image yet. I'll try to add a few comments/opinions that may (or may not) have improved it.
First of all, good choice of subject. This is certainly classy, as well as impressive. I think dartompkins hit a point that might be part of a bigger idea as well. The lamp to the right of the tree certainly is a bit distracting. But even moreso, I think the entire scene is. In addition, the tree has so many lights and they almost seem to blend together here... this is a picture that I would've loved to see up close and personal - a frame filler. Or at least get rid of some of the surroundings - it's dark enough that they don't distract as much as they possibly could, but would still like to see as much of this tree and as detailed as possible. Hope that helps, and happy holidays! |
