This shot of a diver above me was taken in the clearest  coldest water I have ever dived in  at Silfra  Iceland. It is called  the dive between the continents  and is inland crack between American and European tectonic plates filled with glacial wate

HI,
thank for your latest submission to the UWP contest smile
You've requested a critique of your photo. How it works :
I will structure my critique into a few chapters and will list some suggested solutions to problem zones
( if there are any ). My critique will be like 2-3 posts in total, please wait with any answers untill
you see the note "photo critic completed" - thanks smile
As we photo critics do this job as volunteers, a "thank you" is always appreciated
( no "thanks" = no more critiques ).
Photo critiques here at UWP are meant to give a helping hand with
an analytic review & to suggest solutions.
The objective is to see you here as winner one day smile
And here we go ( critique/review starts with the next post

Photo Critique
First impression
Great subject, but why the circle. Technical ( score from 1-6, best is 6 )
Exposure : 4, Colours: 4, Sparpness: 4, DOF ( depht of field ) : 4, Contrast : 3
Suggestions :
I’m not sure about the tilting of the photo, I think it would look great level. Colours are good. The diver is a great position showing the proportions of the tank. Again I’m awarded with a good photo for the critique. Were it not for the 2 critiques I gave above, I think you could have a winner. Do you have photos without the circle and a level tank? I’m curious to see them. Maybe it would change my opinion about the above.
Well done, keep it up Tobias.

Happy bubbles, Dray

message Thanks, Dray, for the critique. So you mean without the cicle it would be a good picture? I have several pictures from the tank. Here is another one:

message Another great photo Tobias. My wife likes the first one better and I must say the black of the circle adds something. Maybe I would have preferred a full circle not cut of at the edges. So maybe in a square.

message Two complete different pictures, same subject. ;-) When I zoom back the Tokina Fisheye completely it gives it the circle effect, but thats the maximum I can get cicle-wise. As well it gives it the maximum wide angle and max closeup. smile
