Hi there from the Critique Club
Negative images are inherently difficult to produce in a way that allows the viewer to enjoy them. This capture is no exception. The biggest reason why this one didn't score higher was that the caterpillar really wasn't isolated from the background to provide a strong subject. It just blends into the tree that its on. I also think that your focus is off a bit. It looks like your camera focused on the tree knot rather than the creature. I do like your composition, and the orange from the blue sky on the right really works well to balance the photograph. Not bad as far as meeting the challenge goes, but you picked a category that was sure to be difficult from the onset. Choosing a more distinct subject and correcting the focus would have gotten this one another point, I believe. |
