I'm not even going to try to estimate my score. been a very bad week for me, my car was broken into the smashed my windows and stole my broken stereo causing £200 worth of damage to my £100 car. I had to buy another one with my Xmas savings, Happy blasted Xmas.

Had a shoot today with Jammy James and asked for some crazy stuff for this challenge. This is what we got.

Hope you are in a happy voting mood as it is the last round of the DPCO3.

Greetings from the critique club...

I wasn't able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given this image a 6. This photograph fits the theme very well. The window in the background lets the viewer know there is a primary light source, and that a flash was used to fill in the details on the models face. From that stand point, you have done very well.

Artistically, there are 2 areas where I have some suggestions. First of all, I am really not sure what it is the model is doing. Is he holding a shovel? Is he pulling a sled? While a photograph doesn't have to be crystal clear in subject, I think it might have helped out a little more when it comes to viewers votes. Also, I quite like the red hair because it stands out from everything else and helps establish a focal point (the mans head). I find the red (shirt?) in the background is fighting for attention. Had it not been there, the red hair on the man would have jumped out that much more. Interesting shot overall.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

Marac - Really cool shot. A complete bummer about your car. At least we will have another gold medal to fly for Team Polska!

Sorry to hear about your car, Marac! That sucks! You spend too much time in alleys. :P

Hope you can put it behind you and still manage to enjoy the holidays.

Cheers.
