I wouldn't bother with Facebook for photography critique. As for Flickr - you get out of it what you put into it. Are you joining relevant groups & participating? Do you offer comments or critique others? If not, how do you expect to get comments?
Edit: ok seen it now. I have to agree it's not that inspiring. Yes you have put it on a thirds line - good, but photographic composition is about more than just thirds lines. Good use of shallow dof too - but I would suggest it's not quite shallow enough - the background is still too 'busy'. There's tons of texture there to be brought out, but the lighting doesn't do that - try shooting with the light at a steeper angle (ie when it's going down) - that will really highlight texture AND give some warm colour tones. Alternatively, this could've been backlit to highlight the wispy bits. I judge regional photo comps between clubs & the thing I bang on most of all is light. It creates mood in an image & can bring out detail - you need to think about light more - where it's coming from (above, behind from the front or side), it's colour temp (warm or cool) and its quality (hard/soft). ALL these influence the 'feel' of an image. 9 times out of 10 it's the light in an image that gives it the wow factor & elevates a mediocre shot into a stunner. |
