I get what you're trying to do here, but it just doesn't do the trick for me visually.

The reason I don̢۪t think it meets the challenge is because to me there are no gender characteristics in the models themselves and as they are armed I am assuming they are fighters of a common cause whose enemy is not also featured so again nothing gender specific. Perhaps I can be accused of being too pedantic here but I am trying to give a critique on an image that should convey a specific message about the sexes and that is not happening here, sorry. As regards the technicalities of the image I like the mono processing and the shallow DOF has separated the figures nicely from the background. However, that same shallow DOF has rendered the main figure̢۪ gun in soft focus I would say that it is essential that this too should be sharply detailed.

You would have to know the characters from the last movie.

The larger stormtrooper, the one in charge with two subordinates bowing their heads, is a woman, but there is no way to tell from the figurines. In fact, you can only tell in the movie due to her voice, the character was played by Gwendoline Christie, better known as Brienne of Tarth for Game of Thrones fans.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that makes a significant contribution to the challenge.

Good old Iceland! Another lovely landscape from this wonderful part of the world that has been well composed. I won̢۪t labour the point but my main criticisms would be those already expressed about sharpening and saturation. I always fid it quite intriguing just how powerful and dominant a colour red is! The two people to the right and the smaller one a little higher up they really draw the eye, I think there would be a strong argument for some desat at least on the two. Apart from this Chris you have a lovely image that has been well received by your viewers, congrats on making the front page.
