Greetings again from the Critique Club!

Right off the bat I love the sharpness and b&w conversion on this. I also like that you have 2 areas of motion blur, 1 with the fan and one with his hand. I am at a loss as to what the title means and what is exactly is going on. Also, I notice some noise in the shot, probably due to your iso, but not enough to take away from the shot.

If I had anything to change it would probably be to shoot at a smaller aperature to lose some of the softness on the edges. Also, the mans arm in the white shirt seems a bit blown out for my taste.

All in all I like the shot but would enjoy it more if I had more of an understanding of what was taking place.

Hello from the Critique Club :)

My initial thought is that I really like the concept, and composition. I think black and white was a good choice.

If I was to think of things that might have held this back from finishing higher, for me, it would be 2 things. Something about the b&w tones seems to be lacking, maybe a little more punch to the whites? Secondly, the heads of the others in the shot is bothersome to me. I was trying to envision what I thought I might like better. Maybe if everyones head was slightly more blurry, moving side to side instead of just looking down. Or perhaps everyone but you turned backward. These are just nit picky things though, as is demonstrated by the score. Congrats on the HM!

Can't tell if the motion blur helps or hurts. Think I'd prefer it if everyone was sharp but looking down. Or even looking down with their eyes closed.

Either way, this is one of the better ones in the bunch.
