::: Critique Club :::
Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club. But you know all that anyways.
First Impression - the most important one:
OK ... not really my taste ... but a solid studio shot.
Composition:
This I found a little too centered .. just below the middle of the shot is the swan sitting on the mantle ..I would have like a little higher abopve the swan placing the mantel to the thirds ... Also this is cropped quite tight on the mantle .. I know what bugs me is that I would like to see the swan sitting on something a little larger .. e.g. winder .. to help really balance it.
Subject:
Meets the challenge .. hard not to.
Technical (Colour and light):
I think you have done well here ... there is no flaring the from flashes and lighting ... and the bird is quite elegantly lit.
To grow its vote?:
I hate this question ... take a picture of a boat in a pond ... I have no ideas .. this is after all free study .... I believe it is each to their own here ...
Summary:
Just some detracted thoughts .. hope they make a little sense ... I know you were playing here ... but I think that is how we all learn ...
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
