Hello, and greetings from the Critique Club.
Initial Thoughts
Nice and simple, what a refreshing change.
Composition / Content
You've got a nice composition here, your lines lead us around the photo and to the right focal points, nothing wrong there. Content wise though, although it's definitely simple, it's just nothing one feels compelled to linger on. The lace itself seems to almost be an afterthought, instead of an integral part of the image.
Background
No effective background here
Camera Work / Technical
You've done well with your exposure, focus, and what-not, no glaring or even minor issues here.
Digital Processing
There just seems to be a.. lightish.. quality to the photo that I assume was a post-processing adjustment. A sort of misty feel that, if stronger, would have given a little more of a feel to the photo, but as is, seems to have just washed it out a little. Other than that, things seem to be ok.
Fits the Challenge
You definitely fit the challenge.
My Opinion of the Photo
As I said initially, a nice simple image is a refreshing change. I like the simplicity, but what I like isn't always what everyone else likes, and as I also said, you're just missing a dynamic look that would have really sold this image. Perhaps a pair of jeans draped across an old-time rocking chair with a lace camisole, bra, slip, or some other article of clothing or undergarment arranged artfully would have given more "grab". Something of the sort. Anyway, a good take on the challenge. Good luck in future challenges. |

Well you've got your D and your L. The photo is reasonably well executed ... exposure, focus and such. But in the end it fails to capture and hold my interest. Okay Comp seems okay for an abstract ... just a weak subject IMHO. |

good concept, though I'dput lace undergarments or a lace kerchief with denim rather than a doillie. |

My eyes travel in a nice left to right line from the Lee button to the lace. For me, there is a nice softness about your photo - it's...comforting. :-) |

True to the challenge, but not very interesting. Technically sound. |

This appears to be slightly out of focus. The shot would be more interesting if the depicted items were being modeled by someone. I would have preferred a macro shot of the two fabrics to this. |

the colors come off bland. the composition is close to a subtle pop, but misses the mark. |

I'd like to see these ON a person. The clarity is good and the colors work well. The diagonal line of the waistband lead your eye from the button to the lace. |
