Greetings from the Critique Club...
The two comments you received in this challenge, coupled with your own feedback on the image, do a rather nice job of summing up what happened here. On this website, bugs are done and done and done and done again :) They do make good macro subjects when they are well done, but this one is not particularly well executed. This particular photo also demonstrates on of the things I hate most about digital photography. The 100% crop, or any significant crop for that matter, is just something I'd rather not even hear about. In your image, its obvious from the artifacting and noise. You could never print this image, or others like it. Digital photography has given us a medium where billions of images are created and relatively few of them ever find their way into print form. I guess we have become content with looking at an image on the computer screen instead of a magnificent matted and framed print with some substantial size. I guess coming from a background where the final image was a PRINT makes me underqualified to judge the quality of a digital photograph ;) |
