Something is odd about the sky, perhaps uneven burning, which draws my eyes to the sky rather than to the subject of the image.

Are those sensor dust on the right of the image? You are allowed to clone that out even in Basic Editing.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 6 or 7.

My first impression is that this was very well thought out, and that the hunched over peanut does a great job at expressing his emotions. Choosing to have the foreground peanuts in focus and having the 3rd peanut out of focus, really helps drive the message here. The ample negative space also helps create the sense of being alone. This photo fits very well into the theme, and therefore I am not surprised it finished in the top 10. In comparison your original image, I think this one is much stronger. The other one was too dark, and less sharp overall. Great shot.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

I have only taken photos of the ROM during the day, but after seeing your photo, I will definitely have to make a point to go at night. This solves the problem of getting people in the shot as well. You've done well to divide the frame in half for the before and after. It works well. I'd love to offer some constructive criticism, but the only complaints I have are things beyond your control (firehydrant, construction signs, and lamp posts). Congrats on your top 10 finish.

Keep up the good work.

very nice work - one of the better efforts in the whole challenge - the slumping peanut seals the deal
