nice idea, but needs work. the image is a bit muted, indicating that it could use some more post-processing. also, it could have been submitted quite a bit larger.

Really quite a good idea, but needs to be a bit sharper focus on the subject.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Hi Kat,

This is a natural and lovely idea for the challenge. I especially like the way you have captured the statue in the hand of the other one.

Regarding the composition. There are certian elements that are un-Zen-like, and really dp detract from the overall impression that your picture makes. The branch and leaves from near-by trees add a business that is not serene; this is especially the case where the leaves overlap with the statue.

Regarding the post-processing. I\'m not sure the colouring is that peaceful. Niether black nor yellow are particularly soothing colours.
I think (although I\'d have to see the original to be sure) that you lost a lot of detail in your post-processing. It would have been lovely to see more definition on the statue, especially around the hands.

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Cheers
Paul

Clever idea. Little too blurry in the final output however. Even the people in the background show some blur. Camera being handheld, yes? Also, this is underexposed a little, or at least it appears to be (could be this work monitor). ;^) Good luck.

Nice capture but a bit "flat".

Nice capture, but you might want to cut back on the sharpening to avoid the pronounced edge halo.

I love the focus and color of this.
might add a touch more contrast however.

A lot of people make the same mistake for first try as to not fitting the challenge, shoot they make it after submitting to 100, with that said welcome to dpc, nice shot btw the way the cup and saucer sits in the focus is neat and the lighting gives it a moody feel...

Makes me want to go sit in a window alone with a cup...

Good luck in the future challenges hope you dont scare from your first attempt being last.. cause really its pretty good.

Thats pretty cool. I would prefer if it weren't backlit so much and I could see more detail in the hand but the statue looks lovely.
