Great angle and good even lighting. A little tight with the crop on the front, typically you would like more room in the front than the back to give her "room to move into".

8 from me... although I wish it were a bit more exciting... seems so dull to me. Perhaps some brightness?

I love your DOF!

Picture Wall has to be Moved Citizens really Mad at the Mayor

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

What an amazing location, the world needs more of 'em!

The images on the wall all look fascinating and they're presumably telling something of the local character and history of the place. I like that you have shot from an angle as opposed to a straight on front shot. I wonder if you could have shot from the right hand side with the receding space being filled with the larger side of the picture wall thereby replacing the railing/sky combination with more of the images themselves. Maybe you couldn't get into that position anyway?

The lighting looks flat and overcast thus avoiding overly bright contrasts which suits your subject well, I don't know if you have enhanced the image wall but it is standing out from the rest of the image nicely. I do see this on the front page of the local paper with the headline amendments as suggested by your commenter so yes, it fills the challenge brief well.

I don't know if the original images are mono too but they have reproduced well here, all in all a very respectable entry, well done.

Happy shooting, Sid

Abstract Ball

Comment by Nicht:
A few things (I might be wrong on all or none): It doesn't look crisp and sharp at all, which I value in a photo like this. It's also very underexposed (and I'm not sure why?). The obvious reflection is very distracting (you could try using a polarizer to minimize reflections). And then it's not all that interesting - just centered, like you're trying to sell it. Try different focal lengths to compress or distort the subject, and try to use a much smaller aperture to increase your DOF (and possibly maximize sharpness). If you photo'd this in a soft box, the transparency might be much more obvious, bringing out the detail inside the ball.
