::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:

This is great .. shows true energy and zest!

Composition:
I like how you have cropped for the thirds ... if not cropped excellent shooting for composition. Background is hugely important and for this you have done well.

Subject:
More than meets the challenge.

Technical (Colour and light):
I always love natural light as the basis and then fiddling .. which it seems if what you have done. The picture looks like it may be slightly oversharpened (I think I saw artifacts around the hands and hair) ... but that is minor.

To grow its vote?:
Personally I think you did well .. no 1s or 2s ... but the need to create more immediate impact may be the issue .. I thought it was great and scored it accordingly ... but looking at those who scored around you ... you did do well.

Summary:

Lovely cool picture .. interactive and sold to me.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

A bit morbid to me but still a beautiful image of old. I love the sky in the back too. It's a seven!
