Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes
Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Nice strong diagonal elements. Very simple composition. Not too much that can be said here. :)
Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes. Nice silhouette.
Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast Good color choice and contrast with the silhouette. Maybe make the red a few shades lighter.
- Sharpness. Okay. Here's the that I don't like. The over-sharpening. You like the halo. I would like it better without.
- What is my reaction or feelings? It grabs your attention. I took a copy of this and twiddle with it in PS and I prefer it with the edges soft. It's too harsh.
Dang, I really liked this in thumbnail, but I'm not sure I like the halo effect. That will keep it from a 9-10, but I'll still give it an 8. This pic is truly all about the shape.
I really like this composition but I don't really like the border you used I also don't like the bright red stroke going around the figure maybe it was sharpened to much just a guess.
