The picture of the kid and the guy to the right is great, but the person in the background with their back to us is distracting as is the movement blur on the person to the left. Some wonderful elements but it doesn't work overall for me. I also think it's a great pity that you didn't frame it a little lower to get the feet fully in shot.

Control - Today's Matrix

You asked for more specific comments... Well, the image doesn't grab me. It's not very interesting to look at - the back of someone's head needs more of a twist than this. To be honest, I didn't know it was a tv screen, it could have been a monitor. It seems sort of static and I'm generally not engaged by it.

I can see clear links to the movie and so it fits the challenge criteria but it's a long way off being something I'd ever want to hang on my wall.

In terms of composition, I think if I were doing the shot I would want to see more of the head - it looks awkward cut off at the bottom that way. Also, the shot is very dark overall. While the characters on the screen contrast with that they're a little garish and not particularly interesting to look at directly. My gaze is directionless as it runs around this picture looking for the focal point.

I find it difficult to offer in depth critiques at this stage as I know my own submissions are nothing special and full of faults. As you asked directly I thought I'd make an exception here.

A little dark and out of focus but otherwise a great picture. Well caught.

A bit too much featureless grass in the picture for my liking.

Generally nice, but needs rotating a few degrees to the right and the bend of the straw below/above the water is a bit distracting.

I like the idea of doing a silhouette for this challenge

Nice. Looks almost computer generated.

Very grainy... if you were going for that look I'm unclear as to why and this image doesn't work for me.

Great detail but I find the overall effect disturbing
