Comment by John White:
Very good. Gave it a 9. Maybe a wider crop would help.

Comment by jackrose:
i personally like it... the way it repeats and is almost oddly blank add something to it, it draws attention to the shadow of the person

I kinda like what you are doing here but it needs to be more personal, IMO. This looks like an office hallway and a sterile one at that, which for me doesn't tell me much. Had this been someone's home for example with the usual personal stuff lying about then I could think of many things this figure could represent perhaps even something from my own life. Does that make sense?

I think the crop is a little awkward - I don't know, something doesn't quite work for me.

Hello from the Critique Club,

Congratulations on a solid score for your first challenge entry. As you can tell from the comments you received during the challenge, large borders are a love it or hate thing at DPC. The real disadvantage of such a large border is that it reduces the viewable size of the image for the voter. The smaller the image, the less time the voters are willing to spend looking at the image.

As for what could be done to improve your score. I think you achieved your intent for this image very well. It has a very artistic feel to it, with the desaturated colors and the film grain look. However, both of these effects generally don't score that well at DPC. It seems that the majority of voters like saturated colors and sharp images. So what do you do, stay true to your style or change for a better score? I encourage you stay true to your style, as images like this are appreciated by many members of this site. Just remember not to take the scores personally, as they will not reflect the true quality of your work. Thanks for submitting this image.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

The concept is highly poetic and the execution is elegant. 8
