Greetings from the Critique Club!
COMPOSITION... While I don't find the subject matter to be particularly evocative on a personal level, I would suppose that if you wanted to take a decent photo of a pillow, this would be it. I like the simplicity of the photo (just a couple of different shades), and you really made the yellowness of the pillow stand out by putting it against a black background and removing color from the hands. I'm not fond of how there's more black space on the left and right sides of the pillow. I cropped a bit off these sides in photoshop and despite it being a small adjustment, I think it justifiably improves the photo. If you wanted to even make the shot more symmetrical after that you could have had another person holding the bottom corners in a similar fashion as the already existing hands :)
TECHNIQUE... Nothing much to add here. You managed to render the background nice and black while keeping the pillow evenly lit... There seems to be more noise than I would expect on the pillow itself...could this be a post-processing result?
OVERALL... Pretty good shot that could have benefitted from some more symmetry since its already halfway there to being perfectly symmetrical :) |

| A very good color desaturation (whenever I try this, it looks funny, colors bleeding and such). Image seems very sharp! Yellow challenge well met. Odd shot, you have quite the imagination! Score upgrade from 5 to 7. Swash |

| good lighting, sharp focus, nice desaturation of other colors, and really great contrast... but the subject is kinda boring... |

| Nice photo and display of the color yellow. With the rest of the picture in black and white, it really helps the yellow to stand out and it adds a certain interest to the image. Nice job. |

| Wish I totally understood how to do this to get this clear of black and white and then a different color. My color fades too much. This is really well done. Not an overly exciting photo, but you sure nailed the yellow part of the challenge. Good job. Wish the nuckles on the left hand had been in as good of focus as the rest of the composition. Still a nice job. |
