After brief thoughts of champagne and fireworks, I realized this scale symbolized the new year much more for me and many others. The New Year's Eve celebrations are 1 night, but the new year is a new chance to redeem ourselves. The good news is my scale already reads 10 pounds less than last year. Here's hoping it reads even lower next New Year's Day! :)

Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) - The idea of the scale and weight loss is clearly a New Yearâs challenge for many people. However, this is a photo with everything âcenteredâ (feet & scale). This tends to make it uninteresting. I donât think B&W helps.
(2) BACKGROUND â OK. The floor does not distract from the photo.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL â Good. Iâm not sure that B&W is the best format for this. There is really not a lot of contrast; certainly no mood in evidence.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL â Nothing to suggest. Everything looks fine.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO â A good symbolic photo, but doesnât draw me in. I canât say that it gives me a lot more than a âgood shotâ feeling. On the other hand, I donât have any great suggestions as to how to modify it. I donât think color would change my opinion a lot. Maybe if you added a âGoal = 175â paste on sign.

Here's my dilema. I really want to see the scale centered but to do that, you would have to crop your toes. Maybe not such close cropping would make the uncentered scale less noticable. Anyway, aside from my balance problem, and the slight out of focus right foot, I like it .

Here's a better idea - make a resolution to GAIN WEIGHT - then if you do break it you're not upset!!

A very good photo. And it will be broken! This is really. Hope you don't get beat up about "feet". I like this shot. I'd give it an 8. PTL

Good reminder. :-)
2 years ago I was 78kg, now 90.......... At that time I also spend some money to get the motorcycle lighter to enhance performance (10kg off), doesn't help when the rider goes in the other direction.

Nice composition.
