 I came upon this composition while shooting the many textures and colors in my mother's art studio. Short depth of field was a priority for me and the leading lines created by the barbed wire are what make it work, in my opinion. The only editing done to this image was Auto Levels, Contrast, and Color.

Critique Club Review:

Size matters, size matters, size really does make a difference. As you can see by the comments you have already received, a small picture no matter how good, has a hard time doing well. You should take advantage of the dimensions and the number of kilo bytes allowed in any challenge. Small pictures make it difficult to see detail and can hide issues like poor focus, noise, and grain. Many voters will suspect the entrant has done just that when submitting a small photo.

As for the photo, it looks good. I like the use of depth of field to soften the wire in the background. Lighting, saturation, hue, and brightness look good. The box is a bit distracting. I think the printing is the issue. Painting, or covering it would help. Aluminum foil comes to mind for contrast.

A little more color or drama in the lighting would have helped also.

The image is a bit small, please resize to atleast a 480 x 640 so we can see whats in the picture. This looks like it would be really cool, a neat idea too..

small picture - it has potential, I find the writing on the box a distraction from the image.

too small to judge

Very interesting photo. Would have liked to see it larger. And I guess it's related to geometry is some way? idk

Your photo is too small to properly judge. But from what I can see I don't think it has much to do with geometry, sorry.

why so small?!
 09/13/2006 10:11:32 PM
I like how you made geometry messy, in a clean way. Does that make sense? Probably not. But I think it fits the assignment and looks good!

Picture is to small to realy appreciate it... but seems to be nicely done..

I'm liking it...is the box supposed to be a distraction? I keep trying to figure out why it's there, and if the numbers mean anything.

Photo is too small to thoroughly review.
