Greetings from the Critique Club!

I concur with all of the positive statements below!

I'm excited because this was one of my favorite shots of this challenge! This is an image full of drama and has a real magic to it, I feel. The point of view with the fingers coming at the viewer is very engaging and adds a lot of interest. It is also a unique photo, and has a lot of originality.

Your careful attention to lighting really paid off here. The ball is well lit, and the colors are intense. A few mentioned the glare on the ball, and I don't mind glare if it serves a function; this glare gives the glass ball some intense highlights that help define it and also adds more drama to the shot. If it were not there, I don't think the shot would work as well. I suppose you could experiment and see how it looks by burning it a little.

The composition really works. An object this exciting certainly deserves to be front and center!

Wonderful stuff--an excellent shot in a very competitive challenge! Keep up the good work!

Nice face on this guy, too. He's slightly out of focus, but well composed and a good idea!

City planning or test of God?

The inclusion of the church balances well with the sign, both communicatively and thematically. It's a little awkward, I suppose, but it works for me.

I love the perspective of the road leading up. The sign on the right works well (as opposed to putting it in the middle). This image has nice tones.

Really marvelous irony. The man's face is just a tad unclear, but what a great capture! 9
