Deja Vu

Comment by Melethia:
Greetings from the Critique Club!

I'm going to guess that your score might be a bit low due to Did Not Meet Challenge voters as most don't consider black as "light"; the stockinged legs do indeed meet the challenge, though. Pretty good job with your set-up, though I, too, can see either something she is standing on, or something you didn't quite edit the same way as the rest of the background. I'm sure this is quite monitor-dependent - I can't see it on my laptop which is a bit overly bright. In the future, with shots like this, try viewing on several monitors if you can.

The overall effect of the photograph is one of clean, crisp presentation for the most part - as someone else mentioned it would make a good catalog shot to advertise the shoes.

Are they lovers? They really look uncomfortable in that hug. Nice use of available light.

Very nice capture of street photography, love the shadows in this shot. Perhaps a bit of contrast boost will really pop this image

This is a lovely candid B&W shot. It's such a shame about the van in the background. Still a great classic image. Well done and all the best for the rest of the challenge.

wow that van in the background kills the moment. it really is special though, did you plan them kissing or did you just walk by and see it?

Nice detail on the facade. I think the bright lighting on it draws attention away from the lovers.

The tilt drives me crazy - if it is not on purpose, level the picture - even if you lose the light pole on the left and the side portico on the right. Otherwise, you have done a great job of capturing the detail on the building. The "lovers" are a bit dark, and I think you could lighten the shot a bit. Great candid and great street scene.
