The greens look a little flat...curves/levels?

Comment by bassbone:
the brightness of the light, the paleness of the blues in the water and sky, the narrow horizontal crop on the scene, the lack of a specific subject to draw us in - it gives this image an unfinished feel

The shadow seems kinda distracting.

Not bad, but it would have been better to kill the shadows with a reflector (or substitute).

I like this shot, and I really like the title too. That bright color would certainly cheer my morning.

More a photo of food than of cooking.

Very nice idea. Yummy kiwi colors!

However, I don't think the harsh lighting is doing this photo much good. Your lights are throwing very dark shadows that are adding more of a distraction than interest. I would suggest diffusing your light sources to get softer edges on your shadows.

This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: this lacks somewhat in the composition, i see a little of a high horizon approach, but the fence seems to be too centered

color: the orange of the fence is very interesting, i thought it was painted at first. it contrasts well with the blue sky

contrast: a little flat, could have used a boost to help emphasize the subject

focus: focus is good, nice, sharp, and on the fence (correct subject)

depth of field: this seems to be lacking as well, everything from the fence all the way back to the houses in the distance is in focus, not really separating the subject from the distracting background

lighting: very unique lighting experience here, i quite like it.

other: in the end, this photo didnt have enough "WOW!" to take voters by suprise. Also, the confusing (for some) subject matter further pushed voters to give a lower score. I suggest trying out different angles, and different DOF's in order to separate this interesting fence piece, and give it that "Wow!"

I hope this helped you. If not, feel free to PM me, and i'll get in touch with you. Keep going in the challenges, practice makes perfect!
-Kari Ann
