For me, having the fence in the foreground distracts and detracts from my overall impression of your photo. The fence covers up her face, but I think she's having fun.

IMO this should have been shot from the other side so we would not be looking through the fence. (Glad I don't teach at that school!)

Rust?? Isn't that like a health hazard?

I like the creativity of yout shot and its an interesting subject (you would think that being dunked in rust would have its own set of health issues).... One of the aspects i would have counted as most important is the look on her face but at this angle you really can't get a good sense of that emotion.

Comment by HVGB_photos:
Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other.
The colours in this photo are so desaturated that the effect of complementary colours is lost. Your image demonstrates a duotone effect rather than the effect of complementary colours.

Check some of the forum discussions on complementary colours for suggestions on using colour for contrast.

Hi Sonya ... this is a greeting from the Critique Club.
On the positive side, there's something I like about photographs with a path, a road or a rail track leading from the near edge into the image. It always seems to make me want to step into the picture (maybe I've got an Alice in Wonderland fantasy problem?) Anyway, my problems aside, your shot does have a nice leading line effect with the path, and is effectively composed. The downside, I feel, is that your path doesn't lead me anywhere ... there just isn't enough of a point of interest to make the suggested journey appealing, even for Alice. Nor does the presence of the puddle near the path serve much purpose. It seems a little distracting and bewildering to me. The photograph itself is technically competent; sharp, level, well exposed & with realistic looking colours, although maybe a tiny bit more contrast would be worth a try. However, I can't really get past the fact that there seems to be no point to the image; no reason for you to have taken it, and none for a viewer to give it much attention. I've looked at your work on your profile page, and you have taken some interesting and appealing photographs, so I think you'll already know that this one isn't quite as successful as some of the others. I'll look forward to seeing your next challenge entry. Cheers,
Paul Martin

Too many colours, no complementary colours.
