I voted base on how artistic the image looked and whether I could see it hanging on a wall or gallery.

This image works well... perfect execution, abstract and artistic. Good luck

Abstract and effective. I voted base on how artistic the image looked and whether I could see it hanging on a wall or gallery. This image works. Instantly recognisable but abstract and artistic. Good luck I hope to see this ribbon

Hello from the Critique Club

This shot meets the challenge and is technically well executed.

The lighting is a little un-interesting though and does not help give this a WOW
factor that would lift it in the voting.

You might like to re-visit the subject and try some alternative takes on composition
and lighting to see how a single subject can be made to look very different depending
on treatment and approach.

For example:

Try daylight on one side with a reflector (or white sheet of paper) opposite to fill in the shadows
Try a shallower depth of field to focus on the face and throw the body out of focus

You'd be surprised at the learning curve of shooting around a subject and trying to get different
looks...

I look forward to seeing more of your photos on future challenges.

Hello from the Critique club..

The pose is interesting but the composition lets the photo down.
I can understand the challenges given this was shot from a vehicle.

The traffic cone spoils the shot as it draws the eye and keeps hold
of it!

The slightly off horizontal composition actually adds a dynamic to the
scene and works for me..

Hello from the Critique Club

There is a term that is used a lot on DPC and that is 'brave'
This falls into that category. You have come up with an interesting image that
fits the challenge nicely. The use of welders glass to create a dream like effect out of
camera is creative and shows elements of the thought process that will set your work apart.

A lot of viewers/voters will not spend more than a few seconds on each image in a challenge and
sometimes images that do not appear to be technically correct (sharp, correctly exposed etc)
can suffer in the voting process.

I think you have an interesting image and I agree with the comments added during and after the
challenge...

I look forward to seeing more or your creativity in challenges to come

Regards

Hi from the Critique Club

This image placed disappointingly and I suspect mainly because of the blown out area at the top of the image that does not add to the composition IMO
The scene is interesting with the interplay of the characters and some voters have indicated this in their comments.

'Artistic' images can score low, as voters will pick up on technicalities such as perfect exposure and sharpness rather than deeper meaning or message.

I look forward to seeing more of your photography
