Greetings from the critique club :)

I don´t have much to say about this image so I´ll keep this short. I do like it and probably would have given it a 6 had I voted in the challenge. It´s pretty well lit and definately meets the challenge. I would maybe have included some backlighting from the right had I taken this photo but not neccesarily sure it would have turned out better. Painting with light is well done and suits the subject. All in all it´s pretty well done technically.

However, I am not really surprised it didn´t score better, while well done there isn´t really anything that pops out from this picture, kindof mostly lacks that "wow" factor and I don´t know what that could have been. Maybe a goldfish swimming in that beer? The grinch reaching for the peanuts? Also I think personally I would have voted this higher if the backround had been an out of focus bar table instead of black but that´s just me.

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

All I can say to this is "You lucky @!()%*$", though it look like you use a safety trick I thought up too. Shoot out the open window of your car. you and your gear stay dry and it is safer than standing around with a camera attached lightning rod in a lightning storm.

When I think of what Street Photography is to me, for better or worst I'm moved to include this visual commentary of life in the real world.

Her expression and emotion... tone,focus,depth of field. Excellent photograph, kudos!
