Positives:
Perspective and moment of capture are fantastic and are the strengths of this composition.
Technicals:
Black and white tones and contrast are good. Sharpness borders on being overdone and might just barely cross the border in the area surrounding the club head.
The brightness and color of the ball is overexaggerated for selective desat and has an unnatural look about it. That is not good given it is the main subject.
The Challenge:
Yup, meets the challenge. Voters get the idea about keeping your eye on the ball and it is a nice clean hit but the technical implementation of the desat detracted greatly from the composition. Unfortunately the overdone yellow color and unrealistic color border hurt it a lot in voting. Other than that is is very nicely done. I scored this a three because of the very gawdy color on the ball.
Suggestions:
As would be true in many of the submissions backoff on the overall color saturation and it would have made for a better selective desaturation entry. Also consider reducing the sharpness of the grasses surrounding club a little. |
