>>3410135>>3410132Objective critique is essentially stuff where the image has objectively obvious mistakes such as technicalities of lighting, lighting angles and types (soft/hard), framing, ISO grain, focus, choice of DOF.
>Essentially, what one adjusts to get the best objective raw material result>Also, is the part where beginners should focus on improving themselves first as it gives the fastest returns.Subjective critique is based on whether (You) as the viewer like the image, factors like composition, content, choice of subject, post-proc colour correction.
>Essentially, what one adjusts to make the image beautifulThe stuff in between objective and subjective is what most of this board circlejerks about; angle, leading lines, bokeh or no bokeh, light & colour temp choice of shot, RAW vs. JPG, lens choice, cropping, shutter speed (blur or no blur)
>Essentially, what can one change to make the image nicer, or better "quality"All three of these sit on a bell curve and it depends where you wish to invest your effort.
