I feel like that with these photos, you have chosen to crop or frame the images in places that draw unwanted attention to the elements that are cut off. They do not seem to be naturally separated, and the scene seems incomplete as a result. The stairway, for instance, makes the whole scene seem incomplete because it leads off the frame.

I like this shot. The bird's silhouette is nice, but I would wish the bird to be more prominent and higher in the frame, though. Also, your horizon is slightly tilted.

I like the perspective of this. It invites the viewer to speculate about what is truly being looked at- What is its use? Is it a dangerous device? Nice angle, and I especially like how you can see nearly every one of the spikes.

nice image. I wish the flash wasn't so hard or was bounced to get more details.

The Fruit Shop Owner

Hey there from the Critique Club

My thoughts on the image: Your image is full of vibrancy and interesting colors. My eye is immediately drawn to the various fruits and pulled into the image. The colors are terrific and captivating, which, as other voters have mentioned, is also the primary flaw of the image.

My ideas for improvement: This would have scored much better, in my opinion, with the owner cropped out and the image submitted to artificial lighting. DPC voters lover vibrant colors and seem drawn to them like mosquitoes to those bright, purple bug zappers. As mentioned earlier, the owner himself is difficult to find in the image. However, the fruit is lit with nice, even, artificial lighting.

Where I would have/did score this entry: I did vote on this one and it pulled a 5 from me. I like the flow of the image as well as the bug-zapping colors, but the challenge was missed in my opinion. Looking back at it now, I would have probably have hit it with a 4.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Enjoyed looking through your collection : )
Of this man's portraits I liked this the most... In all of them he has his hands together, which I am not sure if it simply his way of saying hello, or if it has a more religious connotation, or both. But in this one the context of the street is more apparrant and I like the combinationof his pose and clothing to the 'dull' concrete, tire and foot.
