Comment by cbonsall:
very emotive of your area, shame there are posts in front of it.

I'm betting lots of non British folk will have no idea what its about though and mark you down for not being about your town but it defiantely says so much about much of Belfast.

Not sure why you've put your website in teh title, you'll probably get marked down for that, some may think its inappropiate.

Also, I wonder how this will stand under the "Literal photographic representations of the entirety of existing works of art" rule.

Good luck though

This pic is hard to look at. It's hard to establish the detail because the saturation is so high. An interesting take on the challenge though!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I love this shot, I have no idea if it was staged or not but it's a beautiful, thoughtful shot and the sepia works very well with this, though a touch, just a small touch more contrast would make it work a little better to me. I like the wide vertical line on the right but the thinner one on the left is a bit distracting to me. The composition, the cropping is close to perfect. A slightly higher crop on the top, so the top of her head isn't cut off would make this perfect for me. It's so close now that I would like to see the rest of the hair.

Black and white, with a higher contrast would also make this a great shot. Not much else to say except looking at your final score, you were robbed!

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

even though it's sidestepping the theme a bit, this works well. Nice DOF.
