Very busy - you eyes go everywhere on this one. I think cropping it more would have been better - get rid of the bloom on the right, the off vertical line on the left & give visual less weight to the top & bottom portions. I do think it is nice, though!

Very interesting image. I think you found one of the better patterns of the challenge. It seems most elements workign rather well together. Nice job.

I had no idea what in the world this shot was trying to convey. Reading your description, I assume you are occupied with fighting off depression or something? Alright, a clever challenge entry in concept but damned hard to illustrate in a photo as I think your unfortunate placing confirms. Good to see you think outside of the box though, looking forward to your future entries to see what you come up with.

I think a lot of folks, me included, also have this occupation but many are too embarassed to admit it or even, in this case, understand it.

dnmc, as far as I can see. Maybe there's something in the gloom that I can't make out on this screen...

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Nice settings that yielded the colors and tones just as the eye would expect to see them. I also like the crisp focus you captured here.

Lighting: I think you ended up with too much shadow. Perhaps a little bit of flash would have helped lighten some of the dark areas just a bit.

Composition/Content: When doing people or animal portraits, be conscious of everything you have in the frame. Chopping off his feet here seems more accidental than an intentional composition. Try not to chop appendages off right at the joints.

My Opinion: I think that you met the challenge well, and, with a little more attention to your composition, would have pulled a much better score.

I see the pattern, but I don't see what is divine about it.
