The image definitely fits the challenge as there are bubbles to be seen, however the technical merits are a bit soft. The lighting is pretty good, I like the different levels of lighting and how it seems to bounce off of the one shell onto the other, I love seeing how light plays in and on water so this is a good tool to help highlight other areas of the image. That said, the light on the open shell is a bit harsh and you lose some detail there. The composition is alright, it looks as though you dropped the shells in the water? This gives a feeling of floating and movement which adds interest to an image. The focus is the biggest issue I think. The soft focus makes us lose quite a bit of detail with the bubbles, which should be a fairly important piece of this image due to the challenge. It also would increase the interest and impact of the photo if the shells had more definition. The color is a bit bland, however I do think were other aspects improved the cool color it has would work to the advantage. I think crisp focus and a slightly different use of light - taking advantage of how it works through water would have given this photograph a much better impact. I gave a 3 as it isn't horrible, there are some good portions to it and there is much to work with, but the overall presentation didn't move me at all. |
