posthumousComment by LalliSig: Greetings from the critique club :)
Well this is just freaky, third time I get assigned to one of your images... :P
First off, I have told you like your b/w processing style and this is no exception, great tones and all that stuff so got nothing more to say on that subject.
Secondly, I think you nailed the neccesary shutterspeed, the movement of the arm is dead on while the other one i still so I would not have wanted to see it any other way regarding the camera settings. Composition and framing by the black areas around the child are pretty good, I might think they are just a tad too much on either side but still, nothing that is bothering me, if you cropped off maybe 3-5% off both left and right side I think this image would appeal more to me personally, but that´s just me.
I kindof get the low score though, even though I don´t agree with it, would have wanted to see this score about a full point higher or just shy of 6. I mean it meets the challenge but maybe people who voted didn´t think the image was about the shadow and wanted images more in the style of the blue and red ribbon winners and thought you just selected any photo wich had a shadow in it and posted in the challenge, you know how anal some DPC voters can be about such things.
I would have given this a 6, I kindof like it but still, you know me, I want something more to pop off the screen when I look at a photo and while this is good, it doesn´t really interest me fully, I would have wanted to see a scalvert version of this idea, I hope you get what I mean.
Anyway, keep up your style, I know you don´t care about scores and frankly, I have stopped caring much either... :)
Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.
