I very much enjoy the capture of light here, and how the straight lines are in stark contrast to the curves in the cables.

Comment by cogerox:
The starkness works here because of the silhouetted subject. Very dramatic and well composed.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Definitely an underdog shot, and as I gave you a 7 in voting, somewhat surprised that it didn't do better. But this is quite edgy and I can see why some refer to Apple - it does have that very clean, stylized, graphic-novel look. I personally love low POVs, and the stark leading lines do make this a very strong image. Oh, those voters...grrr!

I would say that the cut-off leg/foot definitely had an impact on your score, and perhaps some of those masses of white space you're about to fly into. Your hand is at a third but may have done better if your body was more at that third, than behind it.

Still, you finished on a respectable score, so keep on shooting and entering what you want. And above all, have fun.

Feel free to PM me,

Susan
