Greetings from the Critique Club
Before I start this Critique, I must compliment you on your Hawk image from a previous Challenge. It's splendid.
Okay. Back to Christmas Glow. You met the challenge nicely with the in-focus pine cone and out-of-focus greenery and that other ornament to the left. But as I look at this image, I wonder if you really need the left side of this photo at all. You have a good composition and meet the Challenge requirements well with just the greens and the pine cone. It's pleasant to look at.
What happens with the added material on the left, is that the viewer goes over there to see what's going on. There's nothing exciting, really, so, distracted, the viewer loses interest and moves on.
In any event, your images does capture a nice Christmas Glow.
I wish you continued success at DPC and look forward to seeing more of your work. |
