Critique by =westudios Apr 19, 2009, 3:40:37 PM
This piece is absolutely amazing. You've taken a well-known theme and given it a new life with unique character and appeal. Even the title of the piece is a good nod at itself.

What really draws me to the piece is not only the great use of minimalism, but that you also managed to use a single color with multiple tones throughout. At no point do the model's legs appear to blend in with the background, which is a mistake many photographers would have made when working on minimalistic art. Everything appears very rich and smooth, but with enough variation in light to keep the eye moving. I especially like the not-so-subtle vignetting at the corners, which is noticeable but not so much as to be overbearing.

The only things I could comment on that keep me from giving this a perfect score in all categories is the fact that it's not only taken from a well-known source material (Wizard of Oz), but that there have been many pieces lately with only the shoes of the model as a subject. Still, you've managed to create a piece that stands well despite those.

Outstanding work, and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
