Greetings from the Critique Club
Lesson number one if you're going to enter challenges: Read and understand the challenge description, and read and understand the rules, ideally both and before entering an image that appears to have been taken handheld. I can see camera-shake, and nobody can get a sharp, in-focus image handheld at .3 of a second. So if you like to get pics of your snake, a tripod may be a wise investment. A few basic tutorials on composition, lighting, aperture, shutter speed and ISO and how they all need to work together would be of great use to you.
And in the meantime...as I'm sure you've guessed by now - entering a colour image in a b/w challenge isn't a very good idea. And as this challenge also calls for use of a certain photo technique, none of which is evident here, you may want to learn a good deal more about photography overall - either here or elsewhere on the web - before entering here again.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but how else are you to learn what will work here and what won't? Feel free to PM me with any questions. |
