The technicals: Focus is sharp for the subject. DOF is clearly there. The lighting is quite flat and the composition, while nicely off-set, is not too dynamic. This is a shot I would quickly think about B&W because the colors do not add much to the picture. Personally, I like color which provides "pop" or adds meaning, or B&W. Drab, in-between colors generally let a picture down.
The feel: What is the purpose of the picture? What feeling are you trying to capture? I'm not sure I'm picking up much. If you wanted a sorta nostalgia feel, you could have considered sepia to help you out. Could you have removed that thing hanging from the one antler? It ruins the mood a bit too.
The game: Fits Shallow DOF well, but the picture does not stand on its own. The voters supported your clear shallow DOF and the framing, but did not reward you for content or "wow". |
