Critique Club Review:
Color Saturation and Hue: colors are within normal limits, and well saturated.
Brightness and Contrast: highlight areas, especially in the red balloon in the center, are burned out. Detail is being lost in the darker areas. (too much contrast, as the scene appears to be a little on the dark side.)
Focus and Depth of field: focus appears to be a little soft, depth of field is a little too deep for me. The image appears to be a little too sharpened in post processing. The edges of the balloons have a sort of halo going, which is an indication of this.
Subjective: the balloons that are dimly lit detract, more than add, to the image. The bright spots in the green and especially the red balloons on the left, fight for attention and distract the eye. The negative space of the black areas works, but then the lone blue balloon competes with the others.
Overall I like the image and would like to see it done again with a sharp balloon or two in the foreground at a wide aperture that makes the background balloons nice soft orbs. That, and eliminate the harsh bright areas. |
