:::Critique Club:::

hi, keeda. my name is christian, and i'm a member of the critique club.

First Impression:
clean, crisp and simple. a good image.

Composition:
works very well. the open area on the left balances well with the dandelion head, as do the different tones of grey in the background. i like the implied X with the line of the those two tones and the blur starting in the top right corner.

Subject:
simple, yet effective.

Technical:
i'm not sure. the more i look at it, the more i'd like to see it getting darker in the left distance. that would help balance the visual weight of the flower head.

Summary:
a very nice image, technically good, the inversion worked well. but, the more i look at it, the more i feel something is missing, but i'm not sure what it is. that's not very helpful ,is it?

I'll try to come to this and see if time makes any differnce. if you have any questions about this, please p.m. me.

good luck, and keep shooting!

cheers,

c.

Nice image, beautifully sharp and great use of the negative image. The white / gray background compliments the image. If the background was smoother this would be even better to contrast the jagged foreground subject

Would have preferred to see the stem clearer
