Greetings from Critique Club:
Let me introduce myself. My name is Leroy Dickson, I'm a professional photographer, specializing in glamour, fashion and nude photography. But, I enjoy all forms of photography and appreciate the artistic efforts of all.
First Impression:
It's a nice image of the quality I'd expect to see in a child's book on animals. It's well executed and pleasing to the eye.
Technicals:
When I first pulled up the image, I noticed that it was just a bit over-exposed. Not only does this make the image a bit brighter than I'd expect but also robs the color of its vibrance and saturation. If this had not been a min. ed. challenge, these could have been easily corrected in post. But, since it was limited to "out of the camera", exposure has to be dead-on.
Otherwise the image is technically sound with nice focus and DoF.
Artistic:
It's pleasing with a nice composition, can't say I'd change a thing.
How to grow its vote:
DPC is big on the "Wow Factor" as you may know. Here, we often take for granted a photo that is pleasant to view. Had you shot the animal from a wierd point of view with a wide angle lens, voters probably would have gone nuts over it. However, IMO, the image would have been a less usable image for you.
In closing:
Nice image and a very good image for a stock photo portfolio. Definitely keep up the good work. |
