Has he already made his choice. Should show pump prices to make choice more clear.

I like that it has both automobiles and and an airplane in it, yet the shot itself doen't really stand out. Could probably be sharpened a bit more too.

Greetings from the Critique Club

The message
The natural contrast of pandas makes them great photo subjects, and this one has a nice pose. There is deep depth of field so it technically meets the challenge, but I think this picture would have been more effective with a shallow DOF, keeping the panda in focus but with the background and foreground blurred.

Creative choices
The composition is unbalanced; cropping off the left third of the photo would make it much stronger. Shadows are a bit deep; Curves could help lighten them and reduce the strong contrast. Just enough green is included to add an interesting splash of color.

Technical aspects
Focus is good, although perhaps a bit soft; a little sharpening would enhance the many textures in the photo. The photo is slightly overexposed, burning out the lightest parts. Compression artifacts are mildly distracting and could have been prevented by using a higher quality compression.

This is great! 2/3 ... and especially that you took it in a busy intersection. It is very different. Wouldn't it be great if you've taken it near the Orange line? Anyway, good capture!

Not sure of the depth component here.

Lovely picture but doesn't really show deep DOF as the background is totally shadowed.
