Hello from the Critique Club!

The first thing I noticed was the two large white bands. They really steal the impact of this shot by drawing your attention away from the boy. I believe this was the fatal flaw to this photo and the reason it scored so low. Cropping the white out would have helped the composition of this shot a lot.

You had great timing on capturing this shot. You were able to capture this before he realized that he was staring at a camera and a look of surprise took over. I can just imagine that half a second later, he was gone!

I see from your profile that this is your first entry. Welcome To DPC!!! This is a great site to really learn about photography and watch your own experience grow!

This shot had potential, but the shallow Depth of Field really hurts it. The DoF pulls your eye to the moth's wing, but only a portion of it. If it's head and body were sharper it would be much more dramatic. The colors are soft and natural, which I really like. To many other insect macros are over saturated and loose their connection with nature. This is very well lit, just as I would expect to see it as I walk through the woods.

This is one more of those photos that makes me really want to go buy a Macro lens! I love how you captured the intricate detail of the fibers on the plant. Filling the entire frame as you did gives a real sense of this being larger than life.

I might have wanted to increase the DoF a little so that the leaves coming toward the viewer are also in focus, but I wouldn't have done that at the expense of bringing the background into focus.

Great shot! The lighting in this photo is very dramatic! I really like how his face is in shadow, it adds a little suspense to the shot. This works quite well in B&W. I like the expression of his pose. It makes you wonder what he may be thinking about. You did a great job conveying "deep thoughts". The one thing I might have done differently is not crop it so tight. His tattoo and the top of he ear are right on the photo's edge. Adding just a little bit more room around those elements would allow the lines in this photo to be more natural.

Thanks again for your donation!!

Great wide angle shot! I really like the three different styles of building together. This perspective makes them look as if they are almost all the same height. I imagine that this must have been a fairly long exposure since the buildings are so well lit. One thing I would try to adjust is the purple flare on the right side. Well done! (I really need to get a wide angle lens)

This seem a little too heavy on the red to me.
