That background well within your chosen DOF just doesn't help the image out at all.

Happy Birthday Christ

Sorry, but this just seems like a snapshot. A typical human perspective with some shoehorned Happy Birthday balloons to get the point across all too obviously.

There are so many opportunities out in the world to say this better...nativity scenes, a praying man at church near a poinsettia or something.

I'm just trying to be constructive for you. If this is what you really wanted to enter, then that is perfectly fine.

I get the idea, but I don't get much out of the shot.

A good shot, conveying motion/excitement in a fairly static subject.

I like this idea, but I wish it was not blown out in the middle...I'm sure you wanted to achieve this, I just have no idea why.

So, this is a really cool idea, but I have one major problem with it. The "partial silhouette"...I'm a budding amateur, and I try to keep my mind pretty open when it comes to this stuff, but I also agree with many photographers who don't like partial silhouettes.

This image would be an 8 for me, if it were a true silhouette, but as is I give you a 6. Still a very nifty idea.

An interesting idea, but I think the far right individual makes the image a little lopsided. Had he been a couple of feet closer to the center, the shot would be that much stronger.
