Comment by jdannels:
nice lines and way to make the shadows the subject of your photo. I also like how the lines of the shadow follow the lines of the stairs in the foreground

Comment by Jutilda:
Nice graphic sense. The muted terra cotta, olive and golden colors work well together against the black of the stairs and shadow.

Great shot as usual, Deb. Thought I would make you my guinea pig for the scoring pro forma I have been developing. Hope you find it useful.

Challenge: Empty Room
Challenge Description: Your challenge this week. Take one thing and your camera into an empty room and photograph it. (Advanced Editing)

A Score re meeting the challenge
{ 0} Does not meet challenge
{+1} Clearly meets the challenge
**{+2} Epitomises the idea behind the challenge
For me, this is an excellent example of how I saw the challenge being realised.

B Composition & Aesthetics
{ 0} No discernible compositional form or merit
{+1} Snap-shot like composition
**{+2} Well composed, aesthetically pleasing
{+3} An exceptional composition/exceptional aesthetics
The tones are superb and the use of the rule of thirds on the major verticals all work well. The cast shadow adds a degree of poignancy to the mood of the picture.

C Technical Considerations
{ 0} Technically flawed
{+1} Technically OK
**{+2} Technically well executed
{+3} Evidence of technical mastery/wizardry
Clean rendition of the shot, in line with the minimalist aesthetic expected of the subject matter.

D WOW Factor
{ 0} Not special/ordinary
{+1} Has some degree of impact
**{+2} Obvious impact
{+3} Slaps you in face
This picture does it for me in a quietly stated way.

Total score: 8

Comment by kirsty_mcn:
Congrats on a PB and another top-20. Sorry to leave it to the last minute

Composition
Because the surroundings aren't the most exciting (ie if you'd cropped less you wouldnt have introduced new interest) you needed to fill the frame pretty much, but you've managed to do that without it being too centred and static.

Technical stuff (exposure, dof, lighting etc…)
FOcus is brilliant, especially considering the fleeting moment and the borderline shutterspeed. Exposed well for the dark birds and much lighter b/g

Meeting the challenge
Without a doubt. Not only does the quote fit the photo, it helps give it extra emotion.

Post-processing
Didnt think there was much to say about PP work 'til I looked at the original - you've very mcuh got the full potential out of the photo, much better than I would have done.

Misc
I love the earthy tones. The border fits well with these. Awesome timing.

My personal opinion
Great entry to the challenge, well-deserving of the score & placement. Well done
