Greetings from the Critique Club
by strangeghost
The first three parts of this critique are written based purely on examination of your photo. "Final thoughts" is written after reviewing your score, photographer's comments, and voter comments.
TECHNIQUE
Outstanding depth, almost gives a three dimensional feel to the image. The exposure is a bit dark, particularly in the trees. Focus is good. I like the deeply saturated blues of the sky and how it contrasts with the earthy colors that dominate the rest of the image.
COMPOSITION
It's a unique take on a demolition. The titled viewpoint, the deep depth of field; these combine to create a surreal feel to the whole scene. The foreground is dominated by the twisted mass of iron rod and rocks, which tends to make things look a bit messy, but I still like the effect.
EMOTIONAL IMPACT
As much as I like the technical and compositional job you've done, I don't think the picture has a significant emotional impact. It's definitely unique and creative, but not all that compelling or provocative.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Voters were relatively indifferent though your commenters seemed to like it. Your final score of five probably results from the overall lack of emotional punch that I mentioned. It's a very well done image though. I like your compositional eye and you nailed the technical aspects. Good job. |
