*Critique Club*
FIRST IMPRESSION: Vivid color, but not sure what the extra frame adds.
CHALLENGE: As the challenge called for two or three separate photographs, I don't think this really meets the challenge as intended. That said, a few other people interpreted this the same way, so I do not think this totally missed the point, either.
COMPOSITION: The composition of this shot is very strong, though the angle at which you took the shot results in harsh reflections off the leaves.
TECHNICAL: I might have preferred the use of a polarizer here to soften the reflections of light in this shot. Also, shooting in macro mode and/or with a larger aperture (smaller f number) would have softened up the background a bit. Given that unlimited editing was allowed you could have simulated the shortened depth of field using Gaussian Blur.
CONCLUSION: Very convincing photoshop work, and a pleasing end result. I don't think that the extra beveled frame around the butterfly adds anything, and I wonder if it would have been better to omit it. Then again, it does add extra punch, so perhaps it is better to keep it.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges! |
