Critiques
Anyways, I really enjoyed this piece. I can't stop looking at it. Aside from the watermark - which I think is meant to be destracting ("I'm watermarked, you can't steal me!") - I find this piece quite... Universal.
Not only does the title imply what the image is intending but the image itself could have two meanings. The title-implied meaning, and then, of course, the show of optimism in a dreary pitter-pattery environment.
I love how you made the color of the umbrella just POP in the monochrome grayscale of the rest of the image. I also like how you implored other subtle dashes of color: the very minute amount of blue behind the treeline.
The composition of this piece is lovely. Your eye just moves from one place to the next, never focusing too long on one part, but instead being forced to take in the whole piece over and over again.
Well done, Emma! Well done.
The watermark is a tad distracting, but most watermarks usually are.
The emotional response I imagine from this piece is one of a pessimistic world, though the person in the photo is an optimism, and carries the color with them where ever they go.
Overall this is a very nice capture. Well done!
