Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression
Very Nice shot, has the WOW factor.
Composition:
Very good composition. Just wondering if it's little bit tilted.
Subject:
I really like the subject. Definately meets the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
Veri nice colors and ligting. If I am not wrong you used Dodging and Burning in PP. Works for me, nice.
Improvement:
The picture needs to rotated little bit. Just wondering if it was possible for you to take this from different angle, may be moving further to the right side.
Summary:
Very nice image, good PP. Meet the Challenge, has some WOW factor for me.

Over all very nice image. Congrates on your Personal Best.

Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression
Very Nice shot.
Composition:
Very good composition.
Subject:
I really like the subject. Nice take on the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting in the front is perfect, but needs to be bumped little bit in the backgroud.
Improvement:
Color saturation in the background, contrast and lighting. Some voters on DPC are very strict about meeting the challenge. Tha challenge said Window like a building window, just wondering that may be the this didn't finish higher.
Summary:
Little bit more PP, try to please majority of voters by meeting the challenge criteria.

Over all very nice image. Congrates on your Personal Best.

Margie, Greetings from your own Critique Club.

Here is what I like about the image.

- Nice sunset picture.
- Nice composition, nice moon, nice colors

Here is what I think would have improved the image IMO

- Was the picture taken hand held? I can see the trees are not in focus, so I believe you did not use tripod. If you use tripod, you can even go 2 stops down on the shutter speed to make this perfect.
- Little more contrast / saturation in colors would be good. More saturation will bring Blue and Orange complementary colors to meet the challenge.

Best of luck for the future entires.

OJ Greatings from your own Critique Club. You didn't have any entry last week, so I am commenting on this one.

Here is what I like about the image.

- Composition
- Expressions

Here some things needs improvement IMO

- Picture is too sharp.
- There are some blown outs on the forehead and the face.
- Most important of all - DNMC (Does not Meet the Challenge). You will see this trend on DPC. You will get low score for DNMC.

Best of luck for your future entries.

Nice portrait Wendy. Congrates on your PB. The BG is great. Only thing I don't like is focus is bit soft and the carpet on the bottom.

Nice colors and composition. If you would have avoided reflection, this would have scored even higer.

Nice, just wondering if crop with just one bulb and more pf stem could have scored well.

Another ribbon, Congrates. I agree with thegrandwazoo, it's definately not "Imagination downfall". Very nice image, perfect for the challenge.
