Nicely done, very nice composition. This should make the top 5, it's my second favourite in the challenge.

Good luck.

Bravo! Great shot, my pick for Blue.

My only small complaint is that I don't like the reflection in the glass (not that you could do much about it), but the overall impression of the image is great.

Originally posted by sidpixel: Hello from the critique club An interesting image that does not meet the challenge. I have to show my ignorance here, these are, I assume, Star Wars characters? The reason I don’t think it meets the challenge is because to me there are no gender characteristics in the models themselves and as they are armed I am assuming they are fighters of a common cause whose enemy is not also featured so again nothing gender specific. Perhaps I can be accused of being too pedantic here but I am trying to give a critique on an image that should convey a specific message about the sexes and that is not happening here, sorry. As regards the technicalities of the image I like the mono processing and the shallow DOF has separated the figures nicely from the background. However, that same shallow DOF has rendered the main figure’ gun in soft focus I would say that it is essential that this too should be sharply detailed.

You would have to know the characters from the last movie.

The larger stormtrooper, the one in charge with two subordinates bowing their heads, is a woman, but there is no way to tell from the figurines. In fact, you can only tell in the movie due to her voice, the character was played by Gwendoline Christie, better known as Brienne of Tarth for Game of Thrones fans.

That button was pretty subtle, it's a good job you put it in the title to help us find it. Nice take on the challenge.

I'm sorry to tell you, but, you meant to enter the wrong one, good job you didn't. :)

Congratulations on the blue.

Great job with the dogs barking, but overall there are too many distractions in the image. The blue in the foreground, the rug on the floor, the multiple colours in the wood take away from the image. This might actually be much better in black and white, as it would lessen those things.

I think it would be better composition if it was shot from slightly more to the right and a little lower.

I missed voting on this challenge, but I would have given this a 6. I think it was underrated as well.
