This is an interesting picture, but there is something not quite sharp here.

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Interesting shot, but lacks focus. I checked your portfolio .. all of your higher scoring shots have that focus point.

Composition:
It pays to rotate .. off centred does not actually mean crooked. You can tell this by the angle that the lamppost is on.

Subject:
This is a good night time shot ... one i dream of being able to achieve one day myself. it defiantely meets the challenge.

Technical (Colour and light):
Well lit amd well done for an evening shoot.

To grow its vote?:
There needs to be a true focus point, fine details such as straightening need attention for all shots.

Summary:
Good addition to the portfolio. You have also recieved some valuable comments from voters which you should note.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Not often I get to critique something I commented on. :)

Composition:
I thought this was well composed with good use of DOF.

Subject:
Meets the challenge and is very off centred.

Technical (Colour and light):
Good lighting, good dof, maybe the cropping could have improved the shot and taken it from over average to better.

To grow its vote?:
I think that perhaps the cropping may have been the issue for some ... having the crop slightly wider on the left (looking at the screen) ... may have given a little more proportion.

Summary:
Great shot ... I like your model and use of her here.
