Hi from the Critique Club.
Fit: Well, almost any shot fits this challenge, but does it benefit from the treatment...?
Composition: The Composition is good. You have clearly thought about placing your subject according to the rule of thirds. I do feel that the snail is too low in the frame. Placing him higher with more empty space in the foreground may enahance the idea that he has a long way to travel. Either that or a much tighter crop on the snail?
Technical: The DOF is great. I love it. The colours in the shell seem a little oversaturated for my taste. I don't think the noise in the background is a benficial element in this image as it steals attention form the snail. The slimey snail also seems to lack detail. I think this is because he is slimey but maybe masking around him out and treating him differently would have been an idea. That way you might have been able to keep detail in him and the rest of the image.
Feel: The shot feels average to me. The sheel is great and deserves to be in colour but the issues mentioned above take away from any "wow" that I may get from the colours and patterns in the shot a bit.
PM me if you have any queries. |

| the most colorful snail shell I have ever seen.. you truly made this stand out from the desat. the upper half of the image is very noisy/sharpened or something isnt right about it, and that takes away from an amazing photo.. still a 7, nice job :) |

| Great idea...however the snail blends in too much with gravel. The shell looks great. |
