It's kind of funny (haha), but rather than framing the rest of the picture, the frame is just a part of the picture.

It's meeting the challenge, but that's it, not much creativity I find in the composition.6

It's a good photo... But personally, I would have cropped into the frame, taking out the hands... and just concentrating on her behind the frame... Really nice though...

One of the only good foliage shots. Would have been better if that bottom bulb hadn't been cropped off.

Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)

Composition i believe the composition in this could use some work, specifically the placement of the light source. if you put the bamboo where there light is, on the right third line, and moved the light out of frame, i think it would really help the flow of this photo. great shot nonetheless, very nice.

Lighing i think this was a very well planned out lighting process, but the blowout with the light bulb is quite harsh. any light source that's exposed for 4 seconds will blow out, maybe using a f2.8 or as small an aperture as possible would allow you to use a better shutter speed and not blow the light out, and still get the detail in the bamboo. i still think it'd be better w/ the light out of frame though. but well done.

Challenge This was a tough challenge, with some great competition. as your first challenge, you definitely met the guidelines and followed the rules well. do not be let down with your score whatsoever. for this to be your first challenge, and to score a 5.3436 (or 5+ at that) this is very impressive. great job, and you should be happy with this. you'll grow as a photographer from this site, trust me.

Conclusion This is really a great image. Looking at your portfolio, this is one of many great submissions DPC can expect from you. You have some really nice work, and have a great camera (i have the same one, so i'm partial, but with good reasonings :) ) Overall a great job, and great focus on this one.

Keep on shootin!

Good luck on your future challenges:)
