CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE
by karmat
Me again. Actually, I had Club put this back in the pile so someone else could get it, then waited a day, and STILL got it. Either I am the only one doing cc's (doubtful) or it is "just meant" for me to critique this picture. Whichever way it is ----
Technically, this is a good picture. The focus is good as you can really see the texture in a lot of the areas, and the grain is visible. Sometimes it is tempting to oversharpen a shot like this, but this does not seem the case. The lighting and color tones are good as well.
Compositionally, I find myself focusing on the hicky-didge in the end of the square rail. As a result, I am wondering if perhaps, using that as your subject and getting closer wouldn't have made for a more interesting composition and more of an unanswered question. If you want to include the entire stack, I think more context is needed to really make the composition stronger.
Overall, I think you have a good idea, but it leaves me feeling a little lacking as for the "challenge." The picture is technically sound and the only thing I would really try to change is the composition.
Best to you in future challenges.
Your personal critiquer,
karmat

| Railroad ties? In places the detail is pretty good, but other spots seem less clear. Not a lot of contrast (needs more). It needs something to say "wow, look at me!", but there's just not much here. 7 Rob the Swash |

Damn whatever it was, it was freaking old. Maybe a barn? I like the hints in the pic like the hinge in the upper right, and the S shaped support thingy on the post in the bottom right. Very good shot!!! 8.

| Railway ties. Actually it's dangerous to burn those, the cresote is carcenogenic. 6 |
