Critique Club Review:
Technical: Focus is good, depth of field is just a bit shallow. The rose and fingers go a little soft. Color, saturation, and hue are good. Skin tones are bordering on too bright for another challenge, but work well with this one.
Reaction: Wow, what a picture. You did almost too good a job here. The model's eyes steal the show. As is, it took until I read your comments to even notice the rose has deteriorated. So you did achieve your goal of making it pretty again. I would recommend a tighter crop.
Perhaps just the above the eyes, and below the hands. If the rose were moved up a tiny and the hands down a little, you could even eliminate the hands.
This has the bones of a really fine picture. I'd really like to see you work with it, and see what it could become. Though I guess wou would need to find a new rose by now.
Very nice work... |
