FIRST IMPRESSION: A bit confusing, took me a little while to get it, but worth the effort.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: I think the composition of this shot is excellent. I like the angle you took it at. If you had excluded the map, the shot would have bee too confusing; included any more of it and it would have been boring. This is just enough to provide context. The reflection overlaying the shot of the road in the background

TECHNICAL: Exposure, depth of field and color are all appropriate.

CONCLUSION: An excellent shot, and it's a shame this didn't score better. Unfortinately I think the main thing that hurt your score is the fact that the viewer needs to look at this for a good bit of time to fully understand it, and many voters do not take that kind of time when voting. I personally feel this is an excellent shot that deserved to place much higher.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Drdab99...

I think you did an excellent job with the layout and composition of this series. I particularly like water drop photos and each of these is nicely composed and exposed. I can't really suggest much for improvement on it. I would have possibly used a different color 'background' on the layout to help the images stand out a little more... maybe a dark blue or a darker grey....

Excellent work :)

I don't like the image very much. It looks out of focus because of the window it is taken through.

Greets from the Critique Club!

I really like this image, it's nice and simple. The exposure is great and the focus is superb. The only thing that I can really nitpick on is the composition. For some reason I feel like I want to see more on the right hand side of the frame. Maybe the whole of the shadow?

The colors are wonderful though the leaf at the bottom is just a tad distracting. Overall, this is a really good photo that deserved the high score it got. Congratulations!
