Critique Club Review:
Pictures which can be taken as political statements, are risky in challenges. I wonder if this picture did not score as high as it could or should have, because some didn't know that this was a WWII cemetary.
The B&W really adds to this piece, as I see it as bringing in some of the coldness of death.
Exposure, lighting, contrast, are all done well here.
The sky is the big question for me. I'm torn between liking it for its lack of detail and adding a little coldness to the picture, and wishing it had more detail for visual interest. Perhaps a darker sky to more ephasize the crosses.... Tough to say, which is a good thing, as it means that you have not made an obvious error.
B&W pictures tend to have a hard time scoring near the top in challenges where color is allowed. This picture is a good example of why this bias should not happen. Good job on a tough challenge! |
