This is a comment from the Critique Club;
Had a look at some of your other stuff and I must comment on that - You have some great talent my friend, think you let yourself down with this entry (just a little bit)

First of all - let me tell you what I like -
Great composition, Interesting subject, Lovely colours, nice tecture.

What would I have done diferently -
If it was me, I would've made the DOF less. Try to get more of the shell in focus (also the carpet) to get more green in with the red.
Little bit of detail is lost on the crabs "face". Maybe a tad lighter with a bit more contrast.

All in all, a very good image. You must've had a lot of patience with this shot. These guys are small and shy.

What also might've influenced the lower score is the fact that not alot of people know what this is.

Great work - KEEP IT UP. Remember that this is "in my opinion".

Great idea - I wish the focus were just a bit sharper in the foreground.

The DOF is perfect on this shot to emphasise his face\eyes. - 8

good capture

Not much green but I would still give this a good score. The subject really pops from the use of the red. Gotta love it ;) 7

6 - Good. Although the framing works quite well in my opinion, wonder whether this might have packed more punch with more 'red'/closer zoom, using the extra pixels, who knows. A little sharper on eyes, may have also given this a little extra. Perhaps the colors a little more vivid too, but difficult, especially with likely resulting contrast/etc issues.

the carpet has crabbs
04/27/2006 04:15:42 AM
