Comment by jim29028:
I think a straight on picture with more of the reflection (if possible) and maybe a black and white conversion would work well for this building.

** Critique Club **

Subject
At first look your subjects just seem to be there. Like you placed them in the frame just to meet the challenge. My take on your title was that you were referencing the view between the skates. It wasn't until I read cablondeone's comment that I realized you were actually trying to tell a story about the puck going between the skates. So I would have to agree with them that the photo doesn't tell the story on it's own. It may have worked better if the puck had been between the skates with some motion blur on it.

Composition
One thing that is throwing me off about the composition is the tilt. If it was intentional for artistic purposes I would have suggesting making it a little more tilted so that we know that it was there to add some drama. Your use of DOF is good here with the concentration on the skates. You had mentioned in your notes that you wanted to use it to evoke some kind of emotion. Again, I think it would have worked better if the puck had been in between the skates as well.

Lighting/Color
I think the lighting here is good. The light seems to wrap around the skates well and highlights the details in the boot portion. I think your black and white conversion was done well. There seems to be a good range of all the shades throughout the photo.

In relation to the challenge
I can understand where mrbig65 was coming from when he said you can see the player. Those who felt that way probably felt like since the skates where being worn by the player it meant that you were showing the player and would have voted DNMC. I personally wouldn't have felt that way.

Great concept! Keep up the good work. If you have any questions about this critique please feel free to send me a pm.

Thank you!

you don't need a studio for a nice portrait, but you need a background that is a bit less distracting. i think this was a nice choice for b/w with the way the light is hitting her lapels.-8

Comment by Pro_Art:
I like the shot, but I think a better vantage would have been having the skates a bit wider apart as if they were being worn in a game or a faceoff, maybe with sticks and all that. Nice job tho

Comment by cablondeone:
I would have never understood without the title. Interesting idea but the picture doesn't stand alone without being told what it is. I think it's a great idea but needs a little more work

Nice simple lighting - Maybe more of a formal portrait rather than fashion
