Crowded Crosswalk

Hi from the Critique Club...

My first impressions are that I don't know if you meant the subject to be the man walking towards me or the man walking away. I keep looking from one to the other rather than having my eye settle on one. I think this is the biggest factor in the final score.

As a couple of the commenters noted, there is also very little else going on in the shot. if you look at the high scorers you note the following:
1. the are usually B&W - I don't know why but this seems to enhance candit shots like this
2. the subject tells a story
your shot tells a story but it is very much a short-story (man crosses road) compared to the novel that most people want, where they can engage with the subject.

Good luck in future challenges

Your comments say it all! On DPC this would not score well at all but it is a good image. The editing is well done. It reminds me of the 60's (not that I was around in the 60's!)

I find the colours a bit bright. Great composition but my first impression was "whoa! where'd I put my sunnies?" ;)

He looks like a New Zealand peacock too. A North Island variety if I'm not mistaken. So, where do we find this type of Peacock? Auckland Zoo? Western Springs? Shapespear park? ;)

In all seriousness I think that you'll have trouble passing this off as "wild" as most people will think "She just found one at the local xyz".

PS: Not voting.

Thanks for putting in the setup details and picture, that helps us 'lesser' photogs and also helps us see how great the shot really is!

Not a bad result in the end, above your average and that's the main thing :)

Don't tell me you climbed a tree to get this shot after one has just fallen on your house!

This is a fantastic shot, there is so much to find of interest...the horses, the buildings, the contrast in tones, a well deserved 9
