OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Well, I'll try to offer something here - I do like the colour of the sky and the skeletal silhouettes of the trees are well demonstrated.

Critical stuff: I'm sorry but I think there just isn't enough going on here to hold a viewers interest; I was going to say that the image is too small (and it is) but in this case I don't think it really matters, because I don't think there is too much we are missing at any size.

Overall: I'm genuinely puzzled, you must've seen something in this image to offer it up; I only wish I could see it too.

Positives:Great perspective here and a really interesting locale to shoot in. The graffiti offers some welcome colour too. The shadow and light on the floor is pretty compelling too.

Critical stuff: A minor niggle but the slight clipping of the final graffiti letter does bother me a little. I think there is only so much interest to be had in this scene - I do think you have made the most of what is here but I'm not sure that is enough to make a standout image.

Overall: A very competent image of a dramatic room.

Positives: As soon as I looked at this I thought AlexSaberi, a swan, a deep black backdrop and fabulous execution. I'm not at all convinced that I'm right but that photographer popped into my head straight away. This really is an excellent image though - so much more than the sum of its parts. I LOVE the way this buck convention and shows us the wrong end of an animal.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Superb work.

Positives: There is a great sense of texture to the wall and the glass and the just-enough light works really well with the coloration. The composition for your subject is pretty sympathetic too.

Critical stuff: I think the intrinsic interest level in this scene is very low and although I like what you have done with, I don't really feel that it adds up to something that can inspire as some other images too.

Overall: This is certainly a competent piece of work, but it isn't one that is pushing my buttons.

Wonderful focus and this works so well in monochrome.
