Hey there from the Critique Club

First off, congrats on a well-deserved top 10 finish.

Camera Work/Technical: Well set up and well captured. Your focus is very crisp and your depth of field is terrific. It looks like the shower was desaturated, which also adds to the moodiness of the capture.

Lighting: Near flawless. There is just a touch of overexposure up by the left window, but it's not even enough to be distracting.

Composition/Content: I like the leading line that you created with the shake It really works well to pull the viewer into the image and explore what else is there.

My Opinion: Great work meeting the challenge in a very creative manner. I think that your placement was well deserved.

Nice use of selective desaturation.

Great idea. Like the use of desat other than the offending disturbance.

Really terrific. if it was all black and white it would look like a life magazine from the 50's; but I dig the desat. good luck.

8. 10 if it would have been alone on a plane!

Love the selective desaturation by the way.

I find this image to be somewhat like snakes on planes--not sure what the snake is doing in the photo, but the quality is good and color and tones are good. I spent some time trying to figure out what bothered me about the top edge of this shower--the tile is either crooked or the camera is crooked. Either way I found that distracting.

This is a cool idea. Certainly a subject with good interest factor. I see what you're doing with the point of view from down low, but I'm wondering if, given the subject, a shot from high looking down could work, maybe catch the snake in a nice 'S' curve? It's color sure makes him stand out well in the setting you've used. Nice job.

yikes....love how the snake only has the color and i like the perspective you took it from!

With a slightly different angle on the snake, it would be an even more powerful image. Great selection of room and space. ... 8 ...
