Not a true square crop (2 pixels off). Nice looking swan, good colours, but seems a bit underexposed.

The colors are a little bit desaturated, but I wouldn't call them 'cold'

Nice portrait. feels a bit strange in the cool colors challenge.

on the formal side, I'm not sure I like his expression, It's not quite a "I'm concentrating" look, and it's definitely not a "I'm loving what I'm doing look", but more of a "I can't look at the camera, they told me not to look at the camera/deer caught in headlights" kind of expression.

The shirt and the guitar actually say "warm tones" to me.

Great photo, but not really cool colours, did you put this in the wrong challenge maybe.

Break!

Greetings from the Critique Club. You requested an in-depth critique on your image, and here it is:

The photo itself is fun - you managed to capture excellent motion blur. The perspective is great, as well. Room for improvement: A little action with levels might make this pop more. The colors are flat and the lighting is dull. I'd rework it a bit to make this an outstanding image.

Why did it not score well? It doesn't meet the challenge topic. I think you scored over a 5 because of the interest of the photo itself.

In a different challenge, this might have scored really well.

Cheers,

Alicia
