This seems blurry to me, and I think a different angle would have been effective, showing the road going off into the distance. I like the quality of light, though.

Neat shot, good color, but the focus seems just a little off. I get the feel of the curve, but I'm still left wanting more of it. (That probably means stopping and getting out of the car, sorry if that wasn't possible.) 6 Swash

Great Shadows!! You might want to look at cropping a little bit off the bottom to increase the WOW.

Blurry, almost looks like it was taken while driving. I'm not sure why this would be of interest as the subject of a photograph, either.

CRITIQUE CLUB REVIEW

Question. Did you shoot this in 'whiteboard' mode? Just wondering how it came out the camera looking like that :). Was it a conversion post shoot to black and white?

Graphic design wise, this is excellent. Stark , reduced to essential elements. My eye wants the pencil to project farther into the frame tho, and maybe not QUITE at such a steep angle.

I think it could have been improved a bit if you had moved your lighting in such a way that you got a bit more of a high light off the pencil point. Would have given it more 3 dimensionality.

Your DOF is narrow, and I also wonder what it would have looked like with a smaller aperature (more of the pencil in focus). If you are using a tripod, then you shouldnt have a prob with a slower shutter speed.

Great pic!

Did the subject grab your attention? To a lesser extent.

Sharpness: Fuzzy

Is the shot enhanced by the sharpness applied. No

Exposure: Seems to be underexposed.

Contrast:Crisp

Color: Colors are Black and White

Composition: You chose to use diagonal lines. I think that provides a good impact. That is important. The photo on top of the clothes is in a good place.

Balance:Are the various elements of the shot balanced? I believe they are. I believe that when I look at this photo my eyes are drawn to the subject.

Point of View: Just right. You captured the right angle.

Overall:
I think this picture in black and white does no justice. The Title is needed here to tell us what the picture is about. In Black and White and Untitled I can think that you are a police officer not in the Armed Forces. B and W does no justice for your BDU. I am under the assumption that something went wrong with the shot and you tried to fix it by going Black and White. Not sure why you chose that.

Overall I will say that it has a huge potential, but it lacks here.
