Greetings from the Critique Club!

First Impression: Very good use of the T/S effect, and I am fond of extreme POVs like this.

Artistic: Great place to shoot for this challenge, as you already have a bit of a 3/4 overhead perspective to help you out. That, and the bright colours of the clothing against the ice, add interest and depth and movement to the shot.

Technical: Decent lighting, composition is good considering the angle. Wondering if a little more of a zoom-in might help isolate your subject a bit more. Would like to see some dodging used in fg just to balance out the scene, it looks a little too undefined. But then it does work with the fadeout effect.

Overall: A good solid entry that does a fine job of meeting the challenge. It just needs a little more pop to it to give it that extra je ne sais quoi.

Feel free to PM me.

I like the scenery, perspective and colours; I wish the image was taller though, seems a shame to have cropped it so 'squashed', especially since the sky is such a lovely colour.
