I see where you were going with this, and I gave you a 5 for the effort. However, you have a serious issue with focus and light here. Maybe next time choose an place with more light and perhaps have someone else take the photo for you over your shoulder? That would eliminate the camera shake that's made this so blurry.

Good subject for the challenge, nice light. The only faults I see are, the mess around the trike and the uninteresting angle of view. I think this could have been improved by simply taking this out to a clear area of snow, and getting down at level with the trike.

Too close of a crop. I can see horrible yellow digital noise all the way through this. And it's not even in focus.

A very strange but intriguing arrangement indeed. But with any subject you choose to photograph, please ensure you have enough light to minimise the use of garish flash. If you absolutely must use a flash, find some way to diffuse it.

A little more crop from the top and right hand side would have seen this a more symmetrical and pleasing image. Keep working on that focus.

I like the colour you chose and the hint of vignette. This garnered a 4 from me, which was quite generous considering the lack of focus. The comments below are a good indication that something was not right with this photograph. If the blur was intentional, it may have been wiser to exaggerate it. As it is now, it just looks like you couldn't keep the camera steady :(

I like the idea behind this. You should continue to keep experimenting with this technique.

Focus is a big issue with eye shots. Unless blur is absolutely intentional (and that intention is understood by the viewer), out of focus eyes will never work. In future, try stepping back just a little. Could be that you were too close for your camera to focus accurately.

Too Late

This is a great comment. It is exactly the advice I would heed if I were you.

Originally posted by citymars: What a great old entrance, and I like the concept of the girl in front, but technically there are some problems: it's not very sharp, the girl sort of disappears against the background, the upper left corner is too bright and draws the eye away from the subjects, a lot of empty space down front, plus you've got the phone wires. Maybe shot at a later time of afternoon, with a tripod and a reflector or fill flash, would bring better results (though no recommendation for the wires, unless you can cut them down). ;-)

I gave this a 7 purely for composition. A marvellous subject for this challenge. However, I would have given this a 10, without batting an eyelid, had it been in focus somewhere along that road...
