::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Cool concept ... now if only I had thought of that.

Composition:
nicely done with the hand on the thirds line.

Subject:
meets the challenge well.

Technical (Colour and light):
I really like the colours in this shot ... the lighting also works well to compliment what you are trying to achieve.

To grow its vote?:
I think this shot did well ... I am not sure how to grow its vote.

Summary:
you did well ..this is a little out of the box .. so a good challenge for all.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via
the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

A) Ignore the 1s and 2s. Everybody gets a few so it all evens out. Just troll voting.

I like the idea. It's a nice shot. The biggest problem, and it isn't really a problem in reality, is there isn't a ton of "wow" to the shot. It is also quite centered which leads to a static composition. Focus and colors are excellent. Lighting is well done. You are on the upper end of the range I comment on and I can easily tell. There isn't as much for me to comment on.
