BrinComment by tristalisk: Greetings From The Critique Club!!!
Initial inpact: WOW!! What a powerfull and dark image!!
Contrast: Good contrast whites, Blacks and everything in the middle.
Composition: Normaly I don't like the main subject to be in the ddead center of the image. But in this situation I think it works well. The reflections frobably would not have looked quite as impressive otherwise.
Story: I feel this image tells a story and keeps the viewers interested. The back ground is a spectacular use of freco's and the "dark" preist realy seems to go with the mood the the frescos and the overall darkeness of the image. This is definately not you typical pretty church shot. It is easy to imaging the preist ranting and raving about fire and brimstone. Very effective photo.
Focus: Dead on focus. Nice crisp image through out. There isn't much more to say than that about the focus.
Complaints: It took me second to find the preist amidst the rest of the spectacular details. I perhaps a darker lit back ground with a bit of a spotlight on the preist would have helped with this.
Overall a very nice image. I would have voted this one very highly had I voted on that challenge. Nicely done. I look forward to seeing more of these breathtaking photos from yet another Icelander:)
