Hello, Greetings from the Critique Club.
As requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission. Please keep in mind this is a personal opinion.
First Impression - the most important one:
Focus seems to be off, but a great shape of the flames
Composition:
Composition doesn't really appeal much to me. I think, if you cropped different, the subject out of the center of the image, it would've been a bit better.
Subject:
This does fit the challenge, but lacks a bit of creativity.
Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Focus: Like I said, the focus is off... pity! I think if you used a smaller aperture (F5.6 maybe?) and compensating with the ISO, the focus would have been better. 2.8 is a small area for sharpness, especially with a moving object. It would be interesting to have a better view at the newspapers.
Color: The colors in your image look great, nothing to say about that.
Light: The newspaper could have been a bit lighter IMO, you could use the dodge tool for example.
I hope you've found this critique helpful. Good luck with future challenges! |
