Hello from the Critique Club,

First let me welcome you to DPC and I hope you enjoyed entering your first challenge. Overall, you received many comments during the challenge that point out what you could do to improve in this image. What they don't tell you is how to improve them. The strong brightness of this image in photography terms is high key. For high key to work with your subject, the contrast needs to be stronger (Darks darker and lights about where they are). There is a good tutorial by fotomann forever in the DPC Learn menu on B&W conversions that could help you post process this image with more contrast.

As for the subject you chose for this challenge, it definitely meets the challenge requirements but is rather average by DPC standards. You will find as you progress with your photographic skills, that your scores will increase. But it will be extremely hard to receive scores in the 6's unless you chose subjects that are creative as well as meet the challenge.

I hope to see more of your work in future challenges. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

Just a tad overexposed, but an excellent idea.

Looks overexposed/washed out and not quite in focus, sorry.
