The critique I am doing is for "Dec 26 Loss remembered".
First Impression - the most important one: Wow ... this is so powerful, it leaves me breathless.
Composition: I would normally say that the border detracts from the image, but it doesn't in this case. It actually adds to the somberness of the occassion.
Subject: Lovely choice of subject matter, it meets the challenge well. This is a difficult piece of subject matter, which I think voters will sympathise with.
Technical (Colour and light): The use of contrast and lighting here is great. She does seem so very sad and it is etched on her face. It shows how much was lived through
To grow its vote?: This was a left field entry and being from there is hard to say do this and increase to score. I thinl this kind of shot is fantastic and will always deserve more than it gets.
Summary: You have done some awesome work .. your portfolio shows that. Keep it up.

Heart-wrenching as is your whole Tsunami collection! Coming from Malaysia, this tragedy was too close to home for comfort. This is a beautiful photo-documentary image in paying tribute to the loss and damage done which are far from over for many.
Great detail, thought provocing subject, nice, the thing I like most though is her earing in the shot, breaks up the balance and makes it unique, great job
Powerful. I would have ditched the date in the title because we are left to wonder if this is a rememberance day in another country. I'm not a big knocker of titles, however. There seems to be some odd artifact in the bokeh right below her eyes.
