Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Jon,
Welcome to DPC, and congratulations on your first few submissions.
I will start with what I like - the lovely rich tones and mixing of colour in the glass bubbles - superb. You have used a very narrow framing - this seriously reduces the numbe rof pixels you have available to yourself to show-off your work. Except in exceptional circumstances in DPC I recommend you go for mroe square shots (make the most of those limits they put on us). for the most part your lighting is lovely, except where you have blown out on the underside of the 'coins' - those are too harsh. Getting lighting right (I am learning) is by far the hardest aspect of photography. Then, as has been commented the focus is for the most part very soft. The 'coins' draw the eye in because of their highlights, but when the eye looks for detail it is all ouf of focus.
On the subject of post-processing I can point you to some useful resources:
- as with photography, keep practising and experimenting.
- a good place to start is DPC tutorials
- these Radiant Vista video tutorials are dead useful.
It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.
Cheers
Paul |

| i love the reflections and the colors. Ithink it might have come out better with larger DoF. It might just be me but it doesnt look too sharp and i think sharpness would really add to this. i like the composition too, maybe somewhat more of an accentuated angle might add a little fire to it. |

| Wow. I've never seen these things before in my life, and yet I've already seen two of them in this challenge. They do seem like interesting subjects for photography. |
