Critique Club feedback:
This is an eye catching abstract with pleasing shapes and tones throughout the image.
Two things likely kept this shot from scoring higher. First, even sharpness throughout the shot would present all those wonderful patterns to the viewer in crisp detail. Second, the composition itself is rather haphazard. If this is a crop out of a larger shot, it may be worth experimenting to see where placing the 'focal point' (the blue bit) gives the image the most impact. In my mind I see that spot as being the upper right of the image so that the shapes and colors all point/fade down to the lower left.
Abstracts are not often appealing to DPC voters, and tend to get a love/hate response. The fact that this pulled a strong middle-of-the-road score should be taken as encouraging in my experience. |
