very nice portrait. I like how the shadows seem to disfigure him further.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I think is is an image that did not score as well as it could have done. I think the composition is very nice, the tree on the left is well placed and gives an anchor point. The sun is pretty bright so rather difficult to expose correctly. I am not entirely sure a scene such as this really benefits from the Lucis Arts filter. I think possibly the effect this filter has had on the sky makes it look a little unreal.

I do think a slightly different approach to editing this would have given you a slightly higher score. I would tried a levels adjustment layer on the dark foreground only, reduced the brightness/exposure very slightly on the sky and then pumped up the vibrancy/saturation a little bit in the blue/cyan/red channels. I think that would have made a big difference and may have helped the score slightly.

I do think this image had the potential to score much better.

The background is beautiful, so creamy, gorgeous colours too. Some might say there was too much neat image used but I like the smoothness of the petals.
