Critique Club Review:

Overall I really like this photo.

I do think that the parts, bricks, and other material along the right side of the frame are a bit distracting and competitive with the subject of the photo. The board below the man's foot on the left, leads the eye away a bit also. I realize this was not a posed shot, so there was only so much you could do.

That being said, I really like the lighting that brings out texture of the brick, and contrary to other, I think this works best without seeing his face. This photo is for me, more of a mood piece, and sepia feeling of the color tones add to the picture as well.

The one missing brick also helps set off this picture. It does tie the loose bricks on the right, back in a bit, as I study the picture more.

Camera angle was done well, it brings a little extra life and mood to the photo.

Nice photo!

I like your lighting here and the way you hav that lovely blue glowin the background but I think the main thing that I am struggling with is I can't see any connection between the silver figures and the blue orbs...this may possibly be a reason for this shot not scoring higher. Granted the subjects fit the challenge title as they match perfectly and the image is nicely lit but I think the link of 'meaning' between the items lets this image down...just MHO! :o)
