 Took a picture of some stockings we have that spell Noel. Fixed the wb, exposure, and did some work on the contrast. Also adjusted the colors.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

This did not score very well so let's see why.

Composition

It is a centered image which does not help with the drama of the photo. It is not clear that this involves multiple stockings. My first take was that it was a snapshot of an existing wall hanging.

A more interesting composition might be to lay the stockings randomly on top of each other while still spelling NOEL. Create a pattern, make it off center, make a design.

Lighting

The lighting is flat which does not help the colors. Given the objects I am not sure what could be done with the lighting as no shadows are really possible.

Please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
