While the color of his jacket really stands out, the freeze-action snow is blurry - and i think that's what'd have added to this picture's appeal. 5

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Wow, what a spectacular image. You must have been beating up the "update" button all week with this splendid effort.

It was a tough challenge with the Best of the Best in it and in ordinary times, I feel sure this would have made the front page. It didn't but it did finish extraordinarily well with lots of comments and compliments.

I am pleased to have the opportunity to appreciate it again, and look forward to seeing more of your very fine work.

However, since "there is nothing to critique here" I guess I must move on to the next image in the queue.

Dramatic - great profile, excellent detailing, and I love your choice of composition and the way she's left staring into the negative space as if there's something wild going on there.
