---Greetings from the Critique Club!---

First impression - nice cold feel, desolation comes across well.

In general I think this is a strong image. It invokes emotions from sadness to helplessness. As I mentioned in comments during the voting, the hand looks a bit too disconnected. Perhaps just a bit more shadow detail around the hand would help, hard to tell without knowing what is or isn't there.

I think the negative space on the left works well. Good decision not to crop in tighter.

6+ is good for an image that takes some artistic risks. DPC voters are not always kind to avant-garde images.

I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I thought this shot was terrific, and the darkness added to the desolate feel.

Great face! And the composition's wonderful.

Nitpick: I found the sort-of-there-sort-of-not horizon distracting.

I like this but the hand looks disconnected due to the darkness around it.

It's a really nice shot. However for me there is too much black space. 8
