Like the DOF, maybe a bit more saturation with a tighter crop would have helped IMO. Nice work non the less.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi there, Joe. I love the bright colors and the crisp white in this image, I think those factors account for the higher scores you received during this challenge. The lower scores, however, in my opinion were likely based on composition and lack of "wow". Compositionally, your subjects are just laying there - even looking a little flat. You mention they were pencil puppets - what if you had posed them upright, as if they were interacting with one another. I think giving your subjects a sense of action would have improved your score greatly.

Hope that helps.

Multiple angles of symmetry

Greetings fro mthe Critique Club -

You have a pleasing image here. Onethat easily meets the challenge. Architectural symmetry is always a good fit here.

You have an interesting stained glass window that works well with a center crop. The image is sharp and in focus as well.

A shame that there isnt more visible color on the glass. The direct sunlight was probably part to blame for that. Advanced editing would have given you some leeway there as well.

Overall you have a pleasant image but one that lacks wow power that would have given you the higher votes from the DPCers. 5.85 isnt a bad score though.

You have some really nice images in your portfolio. Keep up that good work and I look forward to seeing your future entries.

Not a badly taken photo, but not a terribly creative one either.

This would be more interesting if the Cat's face was straightened out and the angle was such that I could see the characters' eyes clearly.
