For Which It Standsby
hstegComment by wewillexplore: Greetings from the Critique Club,
Hi Harrison, nice to meet you.
First things first: egillibsen's comment is his opinion, but a silly one. I think he gave you a 1 because it's an AMERICAN flag, not the Icelandic national flag. *shrug* Shooting the flag will always get a polar reaction. Oh well.
Thoughts - the toy part on bottom could have been cut off/removed so that we couldn't see how silly it looks as a toy. *shrug* Just a minor thing, but the diff between a 4.5 and a 6.5 is image quality and details, NOT in your idea, usually.
Given that this is a silhouette and the background is meant to look like something, I'd have preferred this bg be in focus and the subject be silhouetted but also sharp. The soft focus and partial overexposure on the left detracts from the image.
I don't like the thick border, but that's just my opinion. All borders are subjective and usually detract on dpc.
