Comment by Senay:
Greetings from the Critique Club!

First Impression:
Very sharp, detail of the wings and body are quite nice! I can't find one to stay still for 2 seconds let alone take a great picture of one

Technical: The background matches the dragonfly perfectly, blue and yellow/brown. Some of the lines on the left lead the focus away from the dragonfly and more to the bokeh.

Final thoughts: The DOF for this is unreal. You finished in the top 25% and this is only your second entry! I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

If you have any questions click here to message me!

Critique Club Critique

First Impressions
Nice colors, nice abstract. Good fit for the Challenge, which I didn't vote on.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
I like the composition, but at first wondered whether it was upside down (or may benefit from a 'flip'). My eye falls on the right places in the image where the focus is best. The quality seems good and for an abstract style image, carries it over cleanly and well.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
A little surprised by placement of 32, however the subtlety of the 'bubbles' maybe contributed to that. Again, 5.70 is a little surprising, especially regarding the quality of the image itself.

The comments seem to clearly articulate the appeal.

Summary
Nice abstract that perhaps may have packed a little more punch with a bit of 'pp pop' via tweaking of some colors and a little more depth/clarity added. Perhaps even a slightly tighter crop on the right to emphasize, but still stands good as is.

PS
I see you've been at DPC for some time and this is your first Challenge entry - congratulations on taking the plunge and getting a decent score first up.
