Technically, many people here can tell better than me how to make a better shot. I'm here just to say that you get a couple of extra points for this being a photo shot in the street, with live and alive music...It's refreshing after seeing so many dead instruments, to finally hear the music.

I like the colors and energy in the shot, but the angle displayed with only a side view of the drummer doesnt seem to highlight the music part.

Like the action. A tighter crop to remove much of the left of the rider would improve this, imo.

Distracting background.

A tighter crop would have helped this photo score higher. Exposure is good, great sene of action, just to far away and a distracting background.

cropping out the top 1/4 to eliminate the wires would have helped this photo tremendously; without effecting the subject at all -imo.

Hello from the Critique Club...

Hi Andre,
This is a very nice abstract, I have tried similar photos myself and appreciate how hard it can be to get a composition that works and to effect suitable lighting. The exposure is spot on and technically the image is excellent.

You received some mixed feedback from the voters and your overall score reflects this. I agree with the comments that with a photo such as this would have been better posted at full-size 640 pixels.

Overall I actually like this a lot although my main criticism would be that the image lacks a focal point. The viewers ete is left wandering around the scene. This has merit as it can give an unsettling feel to a photo but in a challenge such as this with voters spending seconds on each image it doesn't quite work.

Nice work and good idea though.

Regards

Chris
