Critiques Club review:

Howdy Darcy,

First, I think a quiet tub can be a very sacred spot, especially after a hard day. So the shot fits the challenge well.

The shot is very interesting and the more I look at it the more I like it. The tub, faucet, and the flowered cloth are quite nice. The angle of the shot, I can go either way, so not that important artistically.

The only improvements/down falls I can see are the scrubber/brush and dark green aloe? plant. To me they both distract from the shot a bit. I would have prefered a nice glass of wine and some flowers or candle.

As a whole the photo is quite nice and I hope this helps a bit.

Van

I like the steamy nature of this shot, the angle and the composition. Nicely done!

Nice idea. I would have cropped it in a little closer, and it would have been good if you could have actually shown the steam coming up

I left a comment on this but for some reason it didn't take! I like the steam on the faucet, very nice but the soft focus is just a tad too soft for my taste. Also the angle of the tub top is a bit disorienting to me. I started at a 6 but am going to a 7

The lower portion of the shot has a soft, relaxed feel, while the top portion seems very "busy". I find my eyes jumping around, searching for something to rest on, but am continuously distracted by all the things going on in the upper area of the photo.

nice colors, and there is something about that pink rose that makes this photo work. I feel that there is nothing really \"focused\" here though ... every element in the photograph seems to be blurred/softened too much, I think if the sink tap was more focused this would look better.

nice idea maybe a tub filled with steaming water and candles all around might be for peaceful

Like your sanctuary and like this photo. Good composition and clarity of the main subject.

Nice saturated colors, I like the soft focus - can see enough to get a sense of what is in the background without it being too distracting. The odd angle is almost as if one is reclining in the tub. very nice. 9

Great angle used in the shot. Helps make the composition very interesting. I like the selection of a soft focus. Gives the feeling of a hot bath. The mist of the hot water on my glasses. All the colors above the tub helps to give it a serene feeling. Beautiful.
