Critique Club Review:
Very interesting photo. Focus comes across a little soft on the lower left filaments. Could be from the slow shutter speed. Would to have liked to have seen a bit more depth of field. I would like to have seen the green leaves sharper. Since they are mixed in the subject area, I find the softness a little distracting.
I would also suggest removing the green sprig by the upper clusters. It leads the eye away from the subject.
I really like the dark soft background, a very nice contrast to the subject.
As I study the photo further, I think I would have eliminated one set of the seeds. As presented, you have two subjects in competition. One set would make for a more dramatic presentation, and you would not have had to crop off part of the subject.
As is, an enjoyable photo. |
