Greetings from the Critique Club.
I like the expression that the turtle has in this shot. However, there are a number of things you could improve for this shot:
1. Focus: Your plane of focus doesn't seem to include your turtle's face. That draws the eye of the viewer to the back of the turtle, but that is covered up, so attention is lost.
2. Composition: There are a few elements in the photo that seem to be out of place. That red box in the back doesn't seem to add anything to the shot, and the white piece of paper in the foreground covers up most of your subject and more than half of your photo. It seems that you just took a shot of the turtle wherever he was, without giving any thought to composition or other elements in the shot.
3. Challenge topic: Most people would not consider a shot of a live animal to be a "still life" shot. I'm sure many of the low votes were for that reason alone.
I see that this is only your second submission in about 18 months! I hope to see more of your work in the future. Just take your time and think about your shot to make it look just how you want it. |
