Definitely some great colors, but the crop is weird to me. Like there's a little bit of ground at the bottom, but it's too little space and the front of the stand doesn't really add to the image. Cropping the corners of the veggies looks accidental

I don't really care for the edge treatment, but that's just my preference. When I look at it, I want to crop the window on the far left to get rid of the blue and a bit of the foreground to make the blue chairs the visual center.

Overall, I like it, but the subject's skintones look a bit green to me. Shallower DOF would help too

Thanks everyone!

Since no one asked, here's some background on this shot:

* I used my Canon M6 mkII with a Meike 7.5mm fisheye shooting from ground level with a 30" softbox on the left also at ground and pointed up towards subject's head.

* I printed the dollar signs onto blank bags. I used clip art of the dollar sign to make a linocut which I then used to print the symbol onto the cloth. In my haste, I forgot to reverse the image when making the lino block, which meant that the character is reversed when printed. So I had to mirror the original...whatever.

* That's my oldest kid/co-conspirator wearing one of my old suits. He and his brother are usually up for whatever creative shenanigans I come up with.

* This image was in the plan well before the challenge, when the challenge came out, I already knew what I was going to do.

* After 25 years of me working in it, this image pretty accurately sums up how I feel about how the corporate world operates.

* The full size image looks a LOT better than it does here. I just exported jpg straight from straight from Lightroom, setting the longest side to the max dimension allowed at 100% quality. Dunno if there's a better way to resize for submission or not, if someone knows, please fill me in.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Comment:
Is it really a dive or just rotated that way? There's nothing to give it context.
