Greetings from the Critique Club

Looks like a Savin
Composition - Nice and colorful. I think there are a few dead spots though where there are no buttons. I was thinking maybe taking this from the number side would've worked out a little better. What do I know though? You do have a better array of colors from this end, and they are brighter.

Technical - With only a very small area of this actually in focus, and part of that area not having anything there, it might've given the illusion that more of it was in focus if some of the number buttons were in focus. Good use of shallow DOF, but maybe just a little too shallow. I think at f5.6 or so you could've put the whole green button in focus, considering you had the light to do this, and/or a tripod because handholding at 1/30 sec or 1/15 sec is definitely tough to pull off.

Overall - For what it is, I think you pulled off a pretty good pic. A little greater DOF to show more of the "start" button in focus I think is the only thing that would've made much of a difference to this pic. Nice work. Good luck in future challenges - Bob

If the corner where the side part met the frame was in focus, I'd like this a lot better.

Like it how the light part emphasizes the subject.

Great combination of concrete? and a very urban cross and chain. Excellent image.

Fantastic work. Oddly, the darkness doesn't add a dark feel to your communication. 9

For an eye shot, I've always felt that you need to get the focus perfectly sharp. This just appears a bit too soft for my likings

I like this picture. It's neat how you kept the sparkles of the chain in the border. I like the background for the cross. Not much to complain here.

This is the first photo that I got on the vote page, and I really like it! Composition works pretty well for me, though maybe just a bit too much neg spc on the left side - but it doesn't bother me that much; lighting is nice-gives it kind of a mysterious feel. I love your choice of subject.
