Well there you go, and you did it with something in your own style, although I did think it was Ursula, but take that as a compliment.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image that meets the challenge.

Your image is more of a normal interpretation of the challenge theme that judging by your commenters seems to have been lacking in most of the other entries. It is well executed with your model's hand positioned in the correct place to 'hold' the mountain in his hand, however, I think it would have worked better if you could have extended the DOF from his hand to the mountain and got that sharper. It would also have been a lot more convincing if he could have been looking to the mountain instead of the camera and having him out of focus would not have been a problem then. Instead of holding the mountain he could have had it between his fingers as though placing it into position within the landscape.

The image itself is a little too highly exposed although within acceptable limits it has enabled you to get a better exposure on the man himself but the mountain itself, the most important element in the image, has significant areas of blown highlights.

Anyway, thanks for your submission and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid. Please feel free to reciprocate on any of my images, I would welcome your feedbackâ€Â¦

An appealing image that is assumed to meet the challenge.

Haven't I already commented on this before? If not, then it is a very strikingly similar image to one already entered and critiqued by me. Yes, I've found it, 'pearls', I assume this was the outtake I saw at the time? Well, everything I said about the original applies equally to this, it has more symmetry than the pearls but as I said before I am still torn between the two.

Thanks for your great entry, Sid
