Hi from the Critique Club,

You asked for your shot to have a comment from a member of the Critique Club.

Very dramitc statue here

I would say that your post processing is spot on for this shot, you have the sharpness, clarity and colours very well. I think what is hurting you with your score is that it is a statue and not a real 'live' scene.

This really is a wonderful statue, maybe you could show us the whole statue, i would like to see it

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: Yup, thats certainly pink! Nice and bright compared to the bland background. I thought you'd used selective desat but reading your notes understand it was taken on a bad day.

Composition: Subject fills the frame nicely, might have been even better if you had included all of the 'exit' sign top right (quite comical).

Subject: Like one of your commenters I was thinking Barby Doll Helicopter, fits the challenge well for me, maybe not the most interesting subject out there but plenty to look at and love finding the houses/offices and rails in the reflections.

Technical: I like the exposure though maybe a small boost in contrast would have helped as would a light run in neatimage as there is a fair amount of noise at the base of the helicopter.

Final thoughts:Fits the challenge well and whilst not exactly a WOW image it does hit the spot and feel a 5.1 is a low score. Though, saying that I noticed its bang on the average so a low scoring challenge.

A bit too dark.

Nice composition and I like the nicely saturated colors, but think the image could use more exposure.

Interesting subject matter. Would have been really great if the loading ramp was actually in use! Unfortunately this shot seems underexposed and I'm not sure that the white border does anything for the photo.
