Tales from Beatrix Potter

[jmayoff]

Ok, now that I've done a little critiquing myself, I feel I'm ready to post my own photo for critiquing. Go to town on me, I can handle it. There's one thing that bugs me about this pic, but I'll let you guys have your say.

Well..this isn't my forte yet (to critique) but the one thing I would change if I could would be the sign behind the carriage - my eye just can't help but go to it. The carriage looks nice and clear..maybe a narrower depth of field to get the carriage to stand out a bit more. Enjoy the tones and color change!

It's a good picture--nice tones and composition. As Kat said, though, a bigger aperture would have allowed you to throw that busy background out of focus and eliminate distractions.

Good colour and perspective - but - as Kat said - the sign behind is disturbing a little bit.

Interesting shot with a nostalgic feel.The tones and treatment are quite nice here. Both the sign and the sink are distractions for me though. The composition here feels a bit too busy. Hope that helps - Marko

I have to agree with everyone else here...the first thing my eye did was go right to that sink!

I like the angle and the processing. Yep the eye goes right to the sink. I am ok with the sign behind the buggy. Too bad you could not get the whole coke sign in the image.

It's funny. I never really saw the sink till I read it! Now that is what I see as well.
