Surprisingly engaging, posty! *grin*

I love this more than I suspected I ever would from an I Am the Walrus image of yours.

Oh wait... I never suspected and I Am the Walrus challenge.

Nevermind.

:D

I love this.

You've amazed me. :D *blows kisses*

Harsh lighting. The composition doesn't indicate to viewers what the real subject of the photo is.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Been a very long time since I did one of these, so I maybe a bit rusty.

I'm quite shocked to see this only scored 5.6 - I think it's a solid entry and your B&W conversion is good. I like the high contrast look. I suppose the lack of detail in the shadows is what pushed the score down a bit. The voting is at least pretty consistent.

I would have expected this to be much closer to a 6 than it is.

Those eyes are so trusting, so anxious to please. I like the creative framing, anchoring the subject in a corner and letting the negative space direct the eye.

This is in response to a recent thread pleading for re-engaging the Critique Club. By the time I got here, the current queue was empty and this image came up as one that didn't get done in earlier challenges. It seems odd to be critiquing my DPL team captain, but here goes...

I'm a big fan of slow shutter motion blur and this is no exception. The painterly effect (as noted in your title) is strong and evocative. The white balance "mistake" presents a very cohesive color palette and the graceful arc of the wind motion implies an almost wave like motion across the frame. Lots to like, but for my two cents, the color coherence and graceful motion carries the day.
