Friday Photo Critique is our weekly community project, where we publish a photograph submitted by one of our wonderful readers, then ask you all to offer constructive feedback on the image. It’s a great way to learn more about photography, express your viewpoint, and have your own image critiqued!
Quick Ground Rules
- Play nice! We’ve deliberately chosen photographs that aren’t perfect, so please be constructive with any criticism.
- Feel free to offer any type of advice – composition, lighting, post-processing etc.
- You can also link to photographs that you feel offer a great example of this type of image shot exceptionally well.
Without further ado, here is this week’s candidate for Friday Photo Critique!
The Photograph
Photo Details & Inspiration
- 50mm
- f/1.4
- 1/1250
- ISO 100
I wanted to capture a fairy meeting in a wooded glen. I wanted it to look as mystical as I could without editing it hard in post. This is why I shot with a high shutter to capture the movement to make it appear she was hovering while in the glen. Everything turned out just as I hoped it would have.
Photographer: Benjamin Vilina
