Critique Club Review:
I really like this photo. Lighting, contrast, focus, and depth of field are all well done. I like the reflections and could see where a starburst filter could have added a "magical" touch to the photo. As is the eye bounces from reflection to reflection. The reflections are well ordered so it is a pleasing journey as opposed to a distracting one.
If you could have staged the piece, the orientation of the handles could have been arrainged so as to provide more of a pattern, and captured the handles in the last two tubes at the top; but I doubt the water park would have been overly thrilled with that process.
I think your decison to go with black and white was a good one. Color here likely would have taken away from the total picture.
I don't see the picture as too dark. Given the subject material, and the reflections, I think any lighter would have really blown things out, and lost the detail of the clear tubes. Any darker, would have been too dark.
Given that no part holds the eye, and yet the eye is guided around the piece by the reflections, as opposed to distracted or confused, I believe you have met the challenge well. Good job! |

Nice edit...if you would have cloned out all the wording on the tubes it would have been perfect...8 |

I love this image, and yearn for some contrast, even though the shiny spots provide some. |

Took me a second to figure out what I was looking at here, I like that moment of mystery as I first glance at the good frame filling composition. I'm not sure what color these are, but unless the color was absolutely hideous, it might of been better to keep this in color. |

for me this would have worked better if the "right hand" hadn't been right in front of my face ... that was immediately the subject to me .. |
