Hello and greetings from the Critique Club. You asked for an in-depth critique of your image, and here it is:
Seriously - 4th place - how can I possibly give you any constructive criticism? The clarity and the BW tones of this image are outstanding. You said yourself that the crop is a little different than Weston, however, I feel it works for your subject really well. The hairs near the artichoke heart are a bit blown, but clearly, that affected nothing. I think it actually adds visual interest by creating contrast to the darker bottom part of the image.
I'm groping. It's a great photo. Congrats on a wonderful placement.
Most excellent - delighted to be sharing the page with you. I'm laughing because our images are such polar opposites: yours is so delicate and bird-like, mine is a bit of a large hippo...
Yes. I love the contrast, lighting, perspective, and framing. I just think you show too much of the subject making it too easy to identify right away. The dark area towards the bottom of the subject provides a secondary and contrasting focal point that makes it feel like too much is going on, especially for a Weston.
