Greetings from the Critique Club...
Let me start out by saying this fits the challenge pretty well. Generally speaking, the colors are good which make the subject (dominos pop). Also the crop works however you may want to try it in a square crop in the future using that diagonal layout.
The main problem with this photo, IMO is the background particularly that top right corner. I see blotches in that area, which makes me think it's the result of jpg compression when you saved this. Looking at the file size, which is only 50 kb seems to confirm that. In the challenges you are allowed up to 150 kb and I would highly recommend you saving it as close to that as possible so you can keep as much detail as possible or in this case avoid unwanted detail. If this isn't the result of that then I would try lighting that corner better or using some other background for the shot, one that is more uniform in hue.
Other than that background issue the image is ok. The only other thing I might suggest is to take a different angle rather than shooting from above like you did here. Something much lower where the dominos look larger than life would have really added some much needed wow factor.
That's it. I wish you good luck in future challenges. If you have any questions about my comments feel free to PM me. |
