White Delight by Photospaz

Today's critique brought to you by: Photospaz.

Scores:
Overall: 4.5/5
Composition: 4/5
Emotion: 4/5

Overall: I really like the simplicity of this photo. It shows great texture and pattern, too. I'm not particularly fond of the placement of the snowflake within the photo, but it's not too bad.

Composition: I think I'd like to see the area that's in focus moved back so that all of the snowflake is in focus, rather than just part of it. Also, the snowflake is kind of hanging out in an odd place for photos. I like the contrast between the snowflake and the background, though.

Emotion: This photo reminds me of winter, as it should, and of year spent playing in the snow, throwing the snow about, and so on - meaning it has nostalgic value. It also give me a sense of urgency, because I feel like it'll melt away at any moment.

About Photospaz:
Alyssa has been a photographer for about two years, which is when she got her first digital camera, I assume. Then she discovered the macro button, and she was hooked. "Macro is my life now," she says. She adores macro and landscape photos, as well as photos of animals and buildings. She also enjoys photo editing, though she says she's not very good at it.*

_{*Neither am I, for that matter.}

Tip of the day:
Photography is all about taking ordinary things and making them extraordinary. From one angle, a cat is simple that, a cat. For a different angle, however, the cat becomes Catzilla, or, at the very least, a more emotional subject.
