Greetings from the Critique Club

What a super image. You wanted to try something different and you succeeded. I know, I know, the scoring didn't reflect what you accomplished, but sometimes that happens.

The balance is just fine here, the branch and the wine glass work well together; um, maybe the red is a bit much... but still, it's a fine idea and one that should have scored higher.

Keep up the good work.

Am I missing something, but quite a few entries in this Challenge are not related to Cultural Events. This shot is very traumatic, but not "Cultural" to my mind.

i like the title. there is something odd in this picture. it looks like these is someone behind the woman but i can only see the lower part of his body. interesting capture.

I think this shot captures the anguish of this event in the ladies face. It is a big part of todayĂ¢€™s culture, otherĂ¢€™s here on DPC may not see it that way regrettably. = 9
I think a little less contrast to take away the glare may improve this image

Based on this forum thread ==> Photographer's comments during challenge voting

...and this comment:
onejumpjohnny - \"I just voted on a challenge piece which clearly (and very effectively)represented a crash scene. Since I find this genre personally upsetting, I left comments based upon the face value of the shot (and justifying my low score vote!) Little did I know at the time it was a \"staged\" activity set at a local high school for educational purposes.\"

I wanted to see if I was able to accurately identify the photo being referenced. I'll have to come back after the challenge has finished voting to find out. :D

BTW - Good luck in the challenge.

technically you've captured a fine journalistic piece, nice color, nicely composed and conceived (very sorry for the misconception on my part!)
