Hi from the Critique Club

You asked for a comment from a Critique Club member.

This is the coolest shot. You have the most amazing leading lines, you are crisp, clean and clarity is tremendous. Your HDR here shows people what it can be, not the grainy stuff we are so often confronted with. Your POV is excellent, the half empty shows us what could be, what has been. Your DOF is great, I really feel the height in this shot.

I am not a huge fan of borders, but this suits this shot to a T. I can imagine this on any postcard and selling like hotcakes.

Well done

Comment by geinafets:
I'm sure you cut off the bottom of the image because you are hiding whatever is holding up the matches, but I think the image would be stronger if the match box was more prominent in the frame, both to add some color/take away some of the white and to put the bulk of the detail in the same place. As it is now, my eye wants to bounce between the match heads and the box.

I thought this was a great HDR shot - the details on the wheel are fabulous! But I really loved the sky - it was my favorite part. Congrats on 10th place and your new PB!

2 match entries in one challenge? Who would have though. Pyros.

I like this one more though because its has more going on in there, it has depth to it and its not nearly as static.

I gave this a 10 ... I think it's one of the few where the HDR enhances a very interesting image
