Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) â I like the composition of this shot. The eye is drawn to the upper right to the sign. Good balance of color between main subject and background.
(2) BACKGROUND â The background you chose works well, an effective use of negative space.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL â Focus on the sign is very good. I think your choice of aperture gave you too large a DOF. I think the photo is greatly improved with the tree limbs more out of focus. However, I realize the tradeoff you have in time. Using a f/2.8 for instance for good DOF would have only given you a sec or so for the lighting. Probably too short. Was it really dark when you shot this? Any background light hurts you here. The other âdistractionâ is the lighting of the leaves just beyond the Gonsalves sign. This was probably hard to avoid, but if you did, the photo looks much better.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL â Looks good, no suggestions. It would be interesting to see this in b&w.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO â A really nice shot, probably deserves a slightly higher score. I would think that more practice with light painting, and a better choice of sign without the close in leaves, will give you a much better shot next time.

| The background should've been lit, or totally black. The little bit of stuff behind the signs is distracting. - Inspzil |

| I like your use of flash...very dramatic and the background of trees compliments the street sign very well. |

| The lighting on the tree is interesting. Did you use a flashlight perhaps to light the sign? Great clarity on the sign. I'm not sure from your title whether "Jerry and Gonsalves" is something I should recognise, or just a corner you chose randomly (perhaps where you live). |
