Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is a fun photograph with lots of imagination. I like the perspective; the dark texture of the "floor" divides the image well up the center from left to right, allowing the eye to wander through the details of the composition. Lighting is well done; the subjects, which I believe to be the two soldiers, are not perfectly lit, adding a hint of drama.
Overall, the colour is of course green, but because this looks to be "all one toy", the tone is almost identical, giving the image a somewhat flat feel. The relationship between all the objects could have been made more dynamic and tense, in my view, if this were not the case. As well, there is a somewhat "staged" atmosphere, which, for me, detracts somewhat. It could be argued, however, that we are really looking at one toy, and we're seeing how this toy is used.
I think more focus on the faces of the subjects, with more dramatic lighting, perhaps just hinting at the other elements from darker shadows, may have had more impact.
Hope this helps,
Louis |
