FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Hello, Mona,

First impressions: Your entry to "Home Sweet Home" is very appropiate to the theme; when I look at it, I can think of home, not mine, but someone's home.

Composition: The ship in the background reinforces the idea of home (coming home), as does the pink flower in the right window and the lace courtains (being home); even the satellite dish :) speaks of home (things we do at home). I very much like that you show only the top part of the house. The simple grey/black frame is appropiate to the photo.

Focus: Focus is fine.

Light: OK, the colours of the house, in particular the chimney bricks and roof tiles, are beautiful, well saturated. The background, by contrast, is a bit washed out, especially the blues, (it must have been a hazy day?), and that hurts your picture. I don't know what post-processing software you have, but you probably could improve the image using one of the various tools available for contrast or colour improvement.

I hope this helps. I very much like the glowing light in your "Cloud-scape" picture - it's beautiful! Take care,

Ursula (uabresch)

Great shot, just take down the satellite dish before taking the photo again :-)

The texture of the roof adds depth to the photo.

I like the composition but I feel that the satelite and boat ruin it just a little bit. Not too much though.

I'm not sure why, but I really like the composition/framing on this one. It's the kind of shot I go for a lot (shapeswise), but rarely manage to get anything I like from.

To bad the dish is in your view, otherwise beautiful.

Good! I like the idea of having house and the view together. Wish I lived there.

The colors and saturation of the house is very vivid, but the background seems washed out in comparison - 7.
