Greetings from the Critique Club
Subject
Can I identify the subject? Most definitely the lovely rusty Red Square in the foreground!
Did the subject grab My attention? Most definitely!
Sharpness:
How important is sharpness to this photo? The most important element of this photo is in focus and is complemented by the blur of the background.
Exposure: May be a little dark if you want to nitpick!
Contrast & Color: Very good lovely warm rust inthe foreground.
Composition
The various elements of the photo are well balanced within the frame?
And as you look at the photo your eyes are drawn to the subject.
Suggestions for improvement:
Hard as I think this is very good as is but perhaps bracket to lighten the exposure a bit.
this is the most interesting shot for this challenge and one of only a few photos that actually met the challenge rule that the subject of the photo be the square. Unfortunately, I'm sure a lot of people wont realize this and will not understand why your background is blurry. I think the composition is wonderful and I like how the rusty orange and red of the shoes compliment each other. One of my favorites. I hope everyone else likes it as much as me. 10
