Greetings from the Critique Club!

First, let me say that I am not a professional or even a very good amature photographer, so you may want to take my comments with a grain of salt.

Meeting the Challenge: A good job here.

Composition: I don't think the background is distracting. I think it adds a lot of great context. Black and white helps here, I think, because color may have given the eye too much to focus on. The tilt of the cart is interesting. I don't know if I like it or not, but it draws me into the photo, so that is a good thing. I like how you used the rule of thirds.

Lighting: Shadows in the negative challenge have seemed really weird to me, so I would have liked to see the cart have less shadow, but this is not a big problem.

Title: Ahh, a pun!

Image Dimensions and Filesize: The filesize should be as close to 150kb as possible to minimize compression artifacts.

Misc / My subjective thoughts: I think you really captured the feelings of the guy and displayed a lot of emotion in your photo. The black and white, and the road signs (saying there is only one way) all help to add to the "needing to think positive" feelings that the guy has. I think possibly more detail in the face, as well as a slightly different angle to the shot, may have helped up your score some. But overall, I think you did a great job.

I hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Great capture. Being inverted seems to exaggerate the dispair the mans posture exudes. There is so much to look at, i love the details. 9 good luck

The background is a bit distracting, but the man with his cart is thought provoking.

Nice take to the challenge. To be honest I'm more interested in seeing an alternate version of this where the man and his cart aren't inverted but the background remains the way you have it. As is I still like it and I'm scoring it a 7. Good luck!
