Greetings from the Critique Club

Hmmm, I started this critique, hit the wrong button, and my message went away! Okay, I'll start again.

You had a good concept here, but I'm afraid the voters didn't 'get it'. I'm assuming you had a strong yellow light in the room playing down on the youngster who is trying to get away from it. Looks as if our photographers immediately went for "ha! wrong light balance setting" and didn't get back to what you were trying to do.

Well, on that one, live and learn, I guess.

As to composition, I think this image could be improved by being a little sharper. And by clearing out some of the background material. That is, try isolating the child so that it's just the child and the light. The busy background, in this instance, seems to compete with the story you are trying to tell. This is where as nice smooth backdrop (inexpensive smooth fabric works well) comes in handy.

All in all, a nice try and it looks as if you had fun doing it.

I wish you well at DPC and look forward to seeing more of your work.

Take away the caption and what do you think this is? A photograph of a squating boy with a badly balanced colour. This just doesn't work.

Good idea, however, it would help if something in this picture were in focus (4)
