I'm not really sure what's up with this little weed(?). It looks kind of odd, like a filter was used or something. I do have to say that the photo would be bland without it, so it's a good thing. I like how the sun comes through it. The blue is nice, and focus seems ok as well. Good luck in the challenge.

Thanx Betty and James for your nice comments and also Justine for your critique.
As written by me before, I'm very happy with the result and when I look at the Top 10 I don't feel my picture would belong there. And being on place 11 or 28 does not matter much to me. As jusitne said: it was a strong and fun contest. And my submission did a lot better then I thought!

I love the weed in the foreground with the light catching it.

I too thought this would have done better..the color and technique is great especially the "cupping" of Maryln's face in the flame.

CRITIQUE CLUB
Hello Harz_Joerg
Composition/Content:Impressive shot with impact. The crop and framing is very nice and the topic fits the challenge...well the song too!
Lighting:Looks very good with the colors you've used.
Background:Very nice
Camera Work/Technical:I think the soft foreground would of been better if the focus was a little stronger. Maybe if they were reversed with Marilyn in softer focus.
My Opinion:Very nice shot, I like it and thought it would do better. This was a strong challenge with many winners IMHO.

Comment by Raven:
Really abstract and quite unique. I've got no idea what it is but it still looks quite good. I think maybe a little more definition in the back ground would've rated it higher in my opinion. I think i've gotta know what something is before i can form an impression. 6.

I'd have like to have seen the background landscape more, but that would have blown out the foreground too much. Nice shot though - 7
