Critique Club Review:
Lighting is good, depth of field is just a little bit shallow. Part of the mallet is in sharp focus, but the rest seems a little soft. A darker background would have helped this image pop. Part of your score problems is that many probably did not see this as meeting the challenge. Had this been a stop motion challenge you would have scored higher. The voters can get quite littersl. If you were going for a completely stopped motion, a flash under dim lighting can achieve this. If you wanted a little more motion blur, then a slower shutter speed would have done the trick. As is, the out of focus particles in the lower part of the image make the image look dusty or soft. Lighting from the left or right, as opposed to from the top, would help as well. Not bad at all for a second entry. This image has good bones, and I like the idea of the ice cream cone. Lots of potential here. |
