::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Hell .. get me out of here .. I am so glad to live in NZ .. where we only have these things in glass boxes.

Composition:
is fine ... not fantastic with the snake of course being hidden by the bush ... but is kinda cool having to look for him. I just can't imagine it on the side of a part.

Subject:
DNMC is what you heard. But note portraits do not have to be human .. just have to not be hidden so well. of course this is more of a candid :)

Technical (Colour and light):
Is direct on the beast .. and that is fine ... I think it is straight overhead and causing distraction on the leaves.

To grow its vote?:
get a persons reaction and shoot that ... nah you did great for your first challenge ...

Summary:
Don't let the first try put you off trying again ... you obviously have a good eye.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Portrait? Would you shoot a portrait of some persons feets?

Comment by Elaine:
This is not a portrait IMO. Perhaps if the face of the snake were showing it would have worked better. Also a different time of day would have given better lighting.

DNMC

Photograph a portrait that says something about the subject within the framework of their own environment.
