I really like the angles you used to fill the frame - very nice.

Excessively grainy. The subject (the sign) goes right up to the edge in the upper left and very close to it in the lower right. I feel that there shou;d be some space between the subject and the edge as this current composition feels cramped.

Maybe its just the texture, but there seems to be grain in areas of the sign .. probably texture. This is a nice shot.

States of Confusion

Greetings from the Critique Club

Hi.
First off let me say that the concept here is very well portrayed with the puzzle of the states and the "Good Times" (what I had understood as propaganda) newspaper in the background. The title "States of Confusion" also fits the bill as I agree with your commenters.

Although the depth of the puzzle pieces going back is effective, the angle on the soldier is a little bit to head-on for me. His stance is well-done but the gun in front of his face is a little bit distracting.

I think your score suffered for two reasons. Number one, the concept did not match up perfectly with the challenge. Number two (and this could even tie in with number one) there is a fight between what should be the focal point of the image. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be the soldier or the puzzle pieces. One would assume it is the soldier, but the angle and the focus lead us to second guess ourselves.

Nonetheless, a strong image. I like the inclusion of the soldier stomping on DC. You'll always get some votes against you when dealing with politics, but overall, a well-done image.

Any questions or comments you can PM me or e-mail me via my profile.

too much fuzz around the borders and so-so lighting

Wow, lots of details. I can never get details like this to show up. Nice colors, too.

Great eye! I love that blue one in the center. My first thought when I saw this was that they look like butterflies. Might I suggest a slight crop off the left side to eliminate the open space (sand)? It's a very nice shot!
