Critique Club Review:
Focus is very good. Depth of field is shallow, leaving the top of the egg soft and a bit distracting.
I do like the texture of this piece. The edge of the shadow is fascinating. The shadow in a great black void, very well done!
I think what hurt you the most, was the egg. It just doesn't hold up well to the drama of the jet black shadow, with a razor sharp edge, and all the texture of the background.
I would also like to see this photo in color. I think the energy that some bright color could add, would help here.
Overall, a good photo that I think scored a fair bit lower than it should have. |
