::: Critique Club :::

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

First Impression - the most important one:
Good choice of concept .. maybe a little more work on the exection needed.

Composition:
This works .. you have got the thirds working well ... you have created a capture that almost works.

Subject:
As a concept this works ... it is the execution that has some issues.

Technical (Colour and light):
it is here you have some issues ... as with the window framed shot .. you need to work with clean materials ... the bottle here is really dirty and this doesn't help in projecting what you want. The DOF works well ... is the shot a little grainy though .. have a look for neat image or something like that to assist in smoothing an image.

To grow its vote?:
Keep it up .. you have shown you have the creativity ... its just now putting it together with the execution.

Summary:
Well done ... you have showing a good move in your skills.

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

Cheers

Kari

The composition is ok. The image quality is ok. The subject matter could have been better. This picture could be a little more creative.
