CPTII, oi!

Very cool shot, sir. It looks very much like a digital painting -- which is a compliment, by the way.
The great colour duality and the dramatic lighting make this a winner in my book. My favourite for the challenge.

Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression
Very Nice shot.
Composition:
Very good composition.
Subject:
I really like the subject. Nice take on the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
Colors are so wonderful. Green and purple in the BG goes very well.
Improvement:
Only thing I can think of is the blown highlights on the face. The face is not looking very clear. It's either OOF or blown out.
Summary:
Over all very nice.

Congratulations on your top 10 placement.

CTCP2 Gunnsi
First impression: Beautiful angel with a church in the background.
Looks like there is a lot of NeatImage.
Good things:
Lines draw you to the center of ghe subject. Good colours. Everything seems so pure and soft.
What can be done better:
Seeing what place you ended in, there is probably not much :-)
Maybe cropping the light in the bottom left away. It destracts a bit.
Congratulations on your top ten score.

From the CTP MkII

First Impression: Very nice and mystical.

Composition: Really good, with FG making a diagonal through the BG.

Subject: very acurate for the challenge. It's difficult for me to think where you are, or what's exactly this, but it's very suitable for the challenge

Technical: Great tones, with two just two colors. Focus OK.

Improvement: a small part of the sky and of the statue is a bit blown up.

Summary: Really good shot. Congrats on your new Personal Best (We are also tied in PB...LOL). Good job.

Álex

Hi Richard,

I was glad that this had been validated by the time I got around to voting. It looks like something out of a comic book. The scene looks like there was quite a bit of NI action going on. It's not a bad thing, I think, just one of those things where I'm trying to figure out how things were done! The only thing I have to critique here is that I'm not crazy about the gray/green against purple. I don't object to the purple sky at all, but something about the color combination puts me off a little. That's the best I can come up with, heh! Nice work :-)

From ctp2:

I'm going to be perfectly honest here, so please don't hold it against me... I didn't like this shot all that much. It was too dark and eerie and maybe a little disturbing looking for my tastes. Maybe that was the effect you were going for, in which case you did a good job Ü. Everyone else seemed to love it, though. Congrats on the top finish!
Technically the composition and lighting are superb, and the subject is interesting, and meets the challenge. It has a very emotional feel to it. The composition is simple and to the point. Well done.

this looks like a panel from a comic book, which is why I'm giving it a 9.
