Greetings from the critique club. First off let me compliment you on a challenge very well done. I love the simplicity of this photo and the use of the blacked out background.Photo is sharp and scored very well. I'm not sure what I could offer to help you make it better. Overall I think you did very well in the challenge with almost a top 20 finish.

The final result is now published ...and I'm very happy with it because I could not imagine I could reach Nb 23 with this image and so few participations in this challenge !
I want to thank very much all of you who gave their vote to my image, on the other hand your comments were a great encouragement to me and confirmed I could perhaps go on posting some pics in the future !
Thanks again !!
