Just read your photographer's comments. So that's what this is! Very creative. This was one of my top picks for this challlenge.

That dot was probably an orb that got you the ribbon. Seriously, great shot.

That's a nice effect you have going on, but what's that thing floating on the second stair down?

Not sure I get the connection to the challenge, but it's all fuzzy for this one anyway. ;^) Not sure what I'm looking at here, but it's an interesting image. Nice job on the composition and using your space wisely. 7 from me. Good luck in the challenge.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Aesthetic: I think its a great scene which needs bit more attention for better results.

Technical: Seems to be well exposed but the focus seems to be on softer side.

Challenge: Closer to challenge and the title passes the idea well :)

Conclusion: Overall this is average composition. It could have turned out much better if rule-of-thirds was followed. A little bit more of back-lighting would have given good silhoutte effect to bushes. Though I'm not too sure, but maybe 6x4 crop would have taken away extra negative space from top and bottom of frame.

I did not voted for this challenge but would have given around 5 to this one which is in-line with overall score. Considering this is just your second submission, you surely have potential :) Good-luck for future submissions!

I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Wish you a great day!
