::: Critique Club :::

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

First Impression - the most important one:
OK .. sometimes I wished I golfed so I can understand why this is exciting .. but this is a good solid shot ... even without that understanding.

Subject:
This meets the subject .. but as you see from your score this is treated slightly subjectively ... the thing I take into account .. is can the picture stand without the title .. or does it really need the title to tell the story. For electricity it needs the title ... but it is still a great night shot.

Composition:
I feel that although this meets the dimension of 620 on the long side the shot itself is very small and cramped ... I feel that it is missing something ... and it is probably the light you took out.

Technical (Colour and light):
Great fantastic and beautiful colours ... I like how real the greenary is in this shot.

To grow its vote?:
A little more focus on the electricity may have dealt with the low votes ... creating the theme linkage is important here ... as you will have learned.

Summary:
Great work .. and a lovely shot.

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

Cheers

Kari

Interesting! After taking this shot, I found I had to crop out the stadium lights above it or all your attention would be drawn to them, enough to destroy the image. I left only the glow below them, and, of course, that lone light on the building. Anyway, without ELECTRICITY, golf is impossible at night. Thank you for all the comments, they ALL are appreciated.

This is a nice image. The colours are great, but besides the small light on the building, the theme of electricity is somewhat lacking. Obviously the course is illuminated by lights but i would like to see that too. 5

Feels like I could just walk into the image! Great composition. Some might say electricity is not the focus here, however. But nice image still. 8o)

I like the concept but I would not recognize this as a golf course without the title

Nice shot..LOL. The shades of green have been expertly captured. Unlike golf...high scores win. 9!

So now with electricity we can play at night! Certainly a social benefit. He-he. Good job of exposing this tough lighting combination. The one thing missing is a golf ball. Put one on the fairway at the lower ROT junction and BAM! ;^) Good luck in the challenge.
