Greetings from the Critique Club...
I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 6.
My first thought is that you have some very nice bokeh in the background. The random spacing and colours of the ovals keep this interesting. The crop on the snowflake could use some work. I feel as if it was cropped to close to the bottom as we can see just the stub of the bottom leaf of the snowflake. Either moving the crop down, or raising the snowflake slightly higher would be an improvement in my opinion. I like all the details in the snow flake, and the subtle reflections are nice as well. The right hand side of the snowflake is noisy due to the low depth of field. I believe this is because your ISO was set to 1600. I'm assuming you could get the same bokeh effect using ISO 100 and a tripod.
If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you. |
