What a very unusual shot! Unusual composition, unusual framing, unusual colours. Is this the celebrations for the start of the world cup in Germany?

I love the idea behind this shot. I think it would be more powerful if it had a center subject of focus. Good eye though! Way to think outside of the box.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

There are so many contradictory comments on this image, it really is up to you who if any your listen to.

First Impression - the most important one:
Yup .. lonely and all alone .. but the title is what i have to look at t make the story complete.

Composition:
I like this composition. It works... I think in order to really make the image i would have turned the models head and place it resting on the hand ... this puts across a slight destitute feel.

Subject:
Meets the challenge, but the title does help it get there.

Technical (Colour and light):
Lovely .. I like the siluoette .. I like the colours in the sky.

To grow its vote?:
Think about how you use a model to convery what you are looking for, otherwise it can look just like a lucky snapshot.

Summary:
Great work .. and well done.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via
the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Hey, why don't I take some obscure photograph that has nothing to with the challenge, and then give it a title which barely fits, but is passable, and hope that I will win? Good picture none the less.

Very colours. The silhouette ads a contrast too it.
