Hi Robert. I'm desperately trying to catch up so hopefully this is sweet as well as short!
Totally agree with this for small.
I agree with what you've said about straight - I really struggled with that one too.
So sorry to hear about your lens!
Love the colour on the N, but the background seems off to me. Perhaps something straight-on, tight square crop with a light vignette?
Contrast - I think the photo could work as a decent stock image, something about "location" perhaps. The green-and-white is nice, always a favourite of mine. I like the story too, but without it the shot really doesn't say contrast.
Don't give up! I've just had a few weeks of work-related hell, but it all comes out in the wash.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to post your critique. Greatly appreciated.
Week 27 Small.
I found Brian out the front trying to dodge the rain and I noticed how he was smaller than the average snail.
To show his small size I used a boot. I had two flashes bouncing the light from either side of the camera with Brian moving across a piece of card.
