Very interesting shot Don. I really like the contrast and the color tone.

Greetings from the Critique Club

When I saw this in the Challenge I voted it high, because both the blind girl in the foreground with her white stick, and your title gave me the story.

I also liked the way your monochromatic treatment of this unified the image and helped alleviate the busy-ness of the composition.

If I had my druthers, I'd have rotated this slightly to take care of the background people who are hanging on to that slope. But that's minor, and I forget whether you can rotate in basic, anyhow.

Anyhow others saw the busy bits, and missed the story and you received a low mark for a good image.

Keep up the good work.

Nice effect with the water! However, the photo is a bit busy.

Contrary to some others (comments shown below) ... I think this is very well composed. I lke the negative space and the desolate feeling.

I like this theme, pretty clever. Great in B&W also.

I like this for the theme and composition. Does seem a little underexposed. Good luck in the challenge.

I wouldn't call it sub-par, but it isn't great either. I appreciate the simplicity, but the contrast is so low that it doesn't really have any one central point of interest to pull me into the image.
