Hello from the Critique Club:

I think the comments you received during the challenge sum up the strong points about your entry pretty well. The colors are wonderful and the lighting and focus are spot on. I think the score you received for this entry is pretty much what might be expected at DPC, as the image is technically strong but lacks a true focal point. Without a strong focal point, the voter’s eyes have nothing to lock upon and thus, wander around the image looking for weaknesses. It is possible you might have scored a little higher if you hadn’t cropped the end of the two of the pastels and maybe even a six plus. Overall, you have a pleasant image to look at and for a Pastel challenge, it is hard to wow anyone.

good choice to use a long exposure. the motion blur adds more interest to the picture and also gives a sense of the city's energy.

One of my favourites of this challenge - and not because I live here either. The focus and shutter speed are both well done. Nice interest and the colours are good too. 9.

Nice colours. the background is quite good too. Perhaps just remove the red dust from the lower left pale blue pastel.

I love feet pictures. :) This definitely captures the hustle and bustle of NYC. I wish that the feet started at the bottom third, instead of the top third. The different shoes and motions would be more interesting than the concrete.
