The grafitti is distracting, and the silhouette of the person doesn't quite work for me.

background is distracting - shallower depth of field might have helped

This is a cute idea, however, the string on the sweater and the flatness of the colours doesn't hold it together for me. Yet I do like the concept.

Did you desaturate? I might have desaturated the red channel b/c there is a pinkish tint to a couple of the white squares. I'm curious why you did just the legs and why you did this angle, too. I would have liked to see the whole boys.

I like the grungy feel of this photo ... the tilted compositon makes me feel like I'm gonna fall off of my chair ...

Winter sea

From the critique club.
Hi,
I like the composition as it looks straight from a tutorial on composition. The boat and the chairs are placed at nearly the golden intersections. The horizon divides the pic in thirds. The boat cathces the initial attention and leads the eye all the way down to the sea and the waves then direct to vision towards the scattered chairs. This is extremely well organized and cropped (in camera).
I think the ratings for this pic would have been higher in other challenges. I believe that the strong composition creates a drama and arrangement that is not relatable to the challenge as such. Here the drama is directed towards the wild sea and the sky, with very little attention of the viewer being directed towards dirt. I do not know however how in this case you can direct the attention towards the dirt lying around unless you remove the dramatic see and the sky or least put them as a minor third in the picture.
Technically I have nothing to comment on as it appears to have a nice DOF with all the features being sharp.
Nice my criticism is based on my meagre knowledge of composition and photography I would be happy to have any feedback regarding the improvement of the critique.
With regards
Kausik
