*Hello from the Critique club*
First Impression: hum.. whats going on here, some colors are a bit to bright and others a bit to bland. Some thing bugs me about the composition.
Composition /Background: background looks nice what lacks in composition is probably the busyness of the image as a whole. And the fact that the pinwheel isn straigt, i think the photo needs a strong leading line
Post Processing: even though the colors are a bit much, i think it's them that give this photo its charm. I would have croped quite alot of the botom ground part so you couldn't see where the wheel was dug in.
Challenge: Out of the box ideas like this have a way of geting grumpy voters to vote even grumpyer. Im not saying go inside the box, just expect a few hars votes.
Overall: A few minor issues coming together make the shot a bit photographicly awkward. Believe you me, this is not bad for a 1st enter, i think i got around 3.6 on most of my first enterys so keep them comming!
I would have voted 6
Happy shooting :) |

| Love this. Immediately made me smile. That pretty little pinwheel standing tall in a harsh world. |

| 96th? I love this shot -- the bright yellow pinwheel against the steely gray sky. I thought it was very creative. Great 1st entry that was totally unappreciated. |

| Love this pinwheel as daffodil as sun turbine. (It is a lovely pinwheel by the way). |

Clever. I'm not entirely sold on the shallow depth of field, however. On the one hand I like the dream quality it gives the image, and it certainly places focus on the pinwheel, yet on the other the photo seems a bit off balance because of the clarity in the needles and ground.
I typically like a wide range of exposure values, but I think the clarity and lighting on the ground is not helping you that much. It's not really interesting for the image, and is actually distracting.
Try this with a square crop starting from the top of your image and I think it would be excellent. It would eliminate the distracting ground and really frame the pinwheel. The rest is really well done and creative. |
