::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

Interesting to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.

First Impression - the most important one:
Sorry it wasn't till I read the comments that I thoguht about the humour (more fool me) ... this is an interesting take on the typical gardener.

Composition:
I don't feel this really meets many rules of composition. This is not on thirds (I don't think) .. the ruler itself seems to be centred in the frame .. would could have used the background plants to create a leading line .. but choose not too ... it meets the challenge .. but just misses that extra something. Also I think may have look better rotated slightly so that the ruler was straight ... as you can see also that the light line at the top is also quite crooked.

Subject:
Meets the challenge .. and does so well ...

Technical (Colour and light):
Natural light always good .. the flaring at the top could have been burned .. but I think is adds a nice frame ...

To grow its vote?:
This is so out of the box from what you normally seem to do it is great. keep challenging yourself .. it is good to see.

Summary:
Well done ... keep it up.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Funny but I think you should take this paper away ... it just says what flower he is growing but just the look oin his face tells the whole story.

Nice photo - plenty of interest. The title is a bit obscure though.

Lol! I think I'd have burned the brightness at the top, though.
