Greetings from the critique club...
What a fun image!
No problem with meeting the challenge here, so I wont even talk about that.
First impressions.. My eyes went up the line of snowmen, then straight to the distracting dark blobs on the right hand side of the frame. I would have liked to see this almost cropped square, getting rid of the disractions on the right, and reducing the amount of distracting detail on the left. (footprint?)
Technically this image is great. You've done well with a difficult exposure and focus is just right on the front chap.
Going back to the cropping, I'm sitting here holding up bits of paper on the screen.. Feel free to do the same. :-). Negative space (Blank area in a picture) works really well if your subject or object is interacting with the space. A portrait with the subject looking into the blank space, or walking towards the 'blank' side of the image. In this case where you have a group of 'people' staring straight at the camera the open space around the characters dosn't add anything. This is obviously a gross generalisation, but in this case I think it stands true.
Interestingly, to my mind the strongest element in this shot is actually the least in focus. The chap at the back, pearing around the next in line is a wonderful touch. It's almost like he's trying to upstage the other snowmen.
Again, a wonderful, fun image which I think would have done better in DPC voting cropped a little tighter. In the real world this would make a stunning Christmas card image, or post card... Great work and well visualised.
Cheers, Chris H. |

| This is way to cute!!!!!! I rated this photo very high! I think it could have been improved slightly if you had chosen a portrait layout ... I think it might have added something to the composition. JMO. |

| 7 - Very good. Nice and simple, good coloring and seemingly good contrast control of the whites. Criticism; difficult, maybe a variation in composition, not sure. A little sharper on 'fore man', may have also made this even better in my opinion. Slightly grainy, but fairly minor, and may well be intentional. Good use of shallow DOF, enhanced by the seemingly 'bigger mouth' on the 'rear man'. |
