Technically fine, but I don't feel that you've added enough photographically to a shot of another person's artwork to score highly. Sorry.

It's kind of cool shot, but not really working for the challenge.

While the artwork is kinda cool, and your photo is probably okay by current DPC advanced editing rules, it feels like your stealing that person's art and passing it off as your own. I don't know what to say about the quality of your photo, because what makes it cool is mostly what the graffiti artist did. Since the graffiti is probably part of a larger work, I guess I can say nice choice of composition, and interesting subject.

So that's how you use the timer.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hi! This shot has a lot of interesting points to it that can hurt or help the shot overall, it's really going to depend on the viewer. The candid nature of the shot appeals to me, I love candid shots and catching life as it happens. The girl in the shot is looking at you but doesn't look posed, reminds me of my Mom when it comes time to take pictures, she's hiding most of the time too.

The angle of the shot works very well, like you are sitting below the bar, looking up. The cut off of the elbows is a bit distracting though and the background is also a bit distracting to me. Maybe a slightly tighter crop on the sides and a longer one on the bottom.

The contrast is very well done, the shirt is a touch bright but it works for this shot with the darker scarf covering her lower face.

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

I thought the unopend bottle and the lips being covered may have been part of the POV? No drinks for me?

Very nice shot. Good detail and interesting composition. I really like this a lot and I do believe it mets the challenge well. I would really love to see these now with more lighting on them now that the challenge is over. I find maniquin shots very interesting and also a real chance to test equipment out.

Excellent photo. Hope to see more of them.
