So close! For the best effect, the flames need to align with the fingertips. But still a good attempt!

Nice shot, I would have left the top bit of the wheel in frame

Wow, very dark and dreary. Looks like something out of a horror movie. Nicely done!

I like the flatness of the sidewalk. Cartoony.

Nice idea, composition, lines, and DOF. A little more angle and brighter levels would help, as overall image feels too dark.

Greetings from the Critique Club

YOu must have had fun desaturating this image. And you were certainly on the right track to emphasize the pupil of the eye in this fashion.

If this was hanging in the Museum of Modern Art, the patrons would be ooh-ing and aaah-ing over it. (Me too.) But, no, it's in DPChallenge where the voters frequently want more realism, and symmetry. So you scored in the lower numbers.

I suppose, for DPC, if you had made the color of the eyes more 'normal' and used a more conventional composition, you'd have scored a bit higher. But would you have been happier? Doubt it.

So, what the heck. I certainly think you know what you're doing. As long as the numbers don't bother you, keep on doing your photography that way and let those of us who appreciate your work continue to do so.

Good luck.

fog looks nice, but a tree with thicker, more distinguishable branches would've worked better
