In response to your request, here if your in depth critique from the Critique Club.
I'm not sure if you just don't use the 'this critique is helpful' feature, or if you really dodn't find these critiques helpful, but if it's the latter, I'm sure my critique wont be of much help to you either, but I can certainly try.
The very first thing I notice is the size. 447x216. That's a good 200 pixels short of typical DPC challenge entry viewing size. The small size (while it may help hide defects) makes it difficult to really appreciate the image. You placed really well in the challenge, but I'd like to bet you could have gotten 20 places higher with a larger image.
Now, from what I do see of the image, the colors are stunning. Very nice reds. Ranging from a darker red to a bright red. I love the way it sort of fades from front to back. Very nice depth in the photo.
Focus appears good, but maybe a tad soft, but again hard to really determine with the size.
I like the positioning of the chairs within the photo. Your first chairs start about 1/2 way up in the photo, and usually that doesn't appeal well to me, however, it works very nicely here because of the fade I think.
Overall the image has a lot of visual appeal, but suffers from size. ~Heather~
