critique on this photo

I really like this photo.
Only thing about it, is that bird doesn't look that "sharp" in the image....

I love this photo for its simplicity!

I put this photo in the critique section, but no comments on it. Perhaps I'll get some comments here. I love minimalistic photography.

Here is my red fishing hook. Comments please. Taken with the Pentax smc m-100mm macro f4 lens...

Great idea and execution. Very good lighting adding depth. The angling of the hook to show the eye is a nice touch. The use of a red hook on white is very effective - which no doubt is intentional I like how the working end of the fishing line reaches to close the loop with the end of the hook. At first it felt like the space on the left was "too negative" and I thought it might work better with the hook pointing the other way (or to place it on the left third), but giving it some more thought I believe that that might turn the image into just another pleasing, but boring, image. As it is, there is an imbalance, the hook pointing out of the frame, perhaps implying something being left out.

Thank you so much for your detailed thoughts and comments !

I really love minimalist photography. I'm going to pull another out of my collection and post here in the next few minutes....

Sweetgum Tree Seed

I know these go by another name, but it baffles me right now what that name is.


I know many hate these. They are sometimes thought of more as a nuisance than mother natures best work (smiles).

Comments please - are always welcomed!

I would suggest the open part of the hook towards the larger part of the canvas, so if the hook is facing the direction it is, put it on the other side of the frame. I also think this may be better in portrait orientation, with the hook (in the direction you have it) in the lower left corner, a third or fourth of the frame from the edge in both directions. It's not bad but could be better. To me, the open side of the hook with the barbed point is the directional leader here, and you don't lead off frame (in my opinion). My compositional skills, or lack thereof, are strongly influenced by print layout, as used in newspapers, magazines, etc. It was a journalism course I took in college, and I've successfully used it in marketing brochures, websites, advertisements, etc.

I know these go by another name, but it baffles me right now what that name is.
This one of the sweetgum fruit is well executed, but it lacks much interest to me, it's just somewhat sterile. Possibly adding directional light with a shadow? I'm just not sure. It is interesting enough that I don't dislike it, it just lacks interest. But it is interesting enough that I may try something with them, I have many in my side yard. So I will have to say it is inspiring.

I don't feel there are any rules to any of this, just opinions, and we all have one and have the right to change it (usually after you see how stupid it looked after more thought)
