Indian Elephant God (ganesh)by
thekfactorComment by photokariangel: This is Kari Ann, greetings from the
Critique Club:
composition: The elephant is sitting in the middle of the photo, sometimes this can add to the photo, but i feel here that its making it a little less interesting
color: The tones are very rich and reminiscent of Asia. The soft reds and deep yellows are beautiful
contrast: I think this has just enough contrast. im itching to say "more contrast!" but, the more i look at it, the serenity makes more sense as a softer image.
focus: The lack of total focus on one specific object in the frame is what distracts me most. But, looking at
yospiff's comment, this may be due to the compression size. Either way, thats the part of the image I think should have been sharper. This is probably the reason most voted your image down
depth of field: interesting depth of field here. I really like how out-of-focus the little rice grains are in the lower half of the image.
lighting: the lighting overall is nice, but the dark black streak on the left side of the frame really distracts the eye from the rest of the photo.
other: overall, this is an ok image. Though the focus and DOF are sub-par (that's probably what led to such a low score) the colors and subject help make up.
Keep trying, we all have to start somewhere, and I hope this analysis has helped you out some. If you were looking for something else, feel free to PM me with any questions you may have.
