Really nice lighting and exposure.

Darkly Portentious Cat

Comment:
Excellent cinema feel, which means it probably won't do well. Gets a 7 from me.

Made me laugh. Creative!

Darling Pavlova's Confessions

Comment:
Wonderful. My only issue is the slight cutoff on the right side. 9.

Driven Past Crazy

Comment:
Great entry. I probably would have bumped up the highlights a bit to be more eye catching like what movie photos tend to be but otherwise perfect.

Deadly Phone Call

Comment:
The lighting of this is very cinema-like. I probably would have bumped up the brightness just a bit since movie posters tend to be fairly bright in general.

Smoking Bullet

Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression:
Clever and Striking!

Composition:
Works quite fine. I can't see this looking any better in another compostion.

Subject:
Very fascinating. It has that pop art look. You should probably get this printed out or at least a print version online because this could be something that sells for you.

Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting are exceptional. The light really gives shape and dimension to the ashes and the color makes it really pop.

Improvement:
None really. However, if you tried this again for DPC I might remove that background noise so it looks cleaner and appeal to the neatimage folks, which are aplenty.

Summary:
Great image. A strong take to the challenge but most of all creative. Your score doesn't do this justice by a long shot.

Essence of India

Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression:
Looks professional.

Composition:
Very good. The space is filled well and with purpose. Not much more I can say other than well done.

Subject:
She looks relaxed and comfortable, something that is often missing with a lot of other portraits I've seen at DPC. Again, well done in accomplishing that.

Technical (Colour and light):
The lighting is very good. The detail is captured without any harsh transitions. The light on the hair is sufficient. However for DPC purposes you might want to have a bit more contrast so those without calibrated monitors won't ding you because it looks too dark. That one area of the hair with the brighter light does seem out of place but it's not distracting to me.

Improvement:
I really don't have any. As I mentioned above, for DPC purposes maybe brighten the hair more so that it's more visible across the board for everyone.

Summary:
Great image. I thought it was one of the best in the challenge and really I should be asking you about portrait shots rather than me critiquing yours. :)

Good luck on future challenges although I don't think you really need it.

Edited to fix spelling.
