He is scary, but I love the juxtaposition of lines from all the elements in the photo. The lines on the rat are very sharp, you can feel them. Then you have the flow from the other lines throughout. I like the contrast of textures as well. Posted: 07/19/2025 12:36:26
The rat is super sharp and I like the reflection as it gives him a base to stand on. The composition and crop are very good. As Jessica said, the contrast of textures is very good. I think that the bright red behind the rat distracts from him, and so I lowered the saturation of the red and darkened it just a bit. Posted: 07/21/2025 20:08:34
Nice focus and depth of field in this shot. I, too, like the reflection. For me, the background, other than the reflective disc, is a little too busy and somewhat distracting. Tom's edit helped some, but I think a plain background would make a better image. Posted: 07/26/2025 01:36:50
