::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Interesting composition ... nice lines ....

Composition:
The leading lines in this picture are great ... your eye goes up the line of the tree and gets dragged further into the picture .. unfortunately they end at the sidewalk and that doesn't do the shot justice.

Subject:
Meets the challenge .. and does so with gusto.

Technical (Colour and light):
The DOF is a little shallow ... that the base of the tree is totally blurred means you can't see that it is 'broken' off persay. It is also really dark ... maybe a little fill flash would have helpted ... or seeing that the path is shiny a different angle may have allowed more natural light.

To grow its vote?:
Think about the angles of the shot .. take many pictures and when reviewing and selecting your entry think about how others will see your picture .. and the questions that they will ask.

Summary:
Great work .. second entry and improving .. you are doing well.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via
the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

This is a case where the things that I would usually want to change actually enhance the image. You show great courage submitting this to the sometimes insensitive dpchallenge audience. Great job. You inspire me. 10.
