The sharpest area of the image is the fern-like plant to the right. That's also the most interesting part of the image.

Hello from the critique club...

I definitely like the subject matter. I this was a great idea for "LOUD" everything about it screams loud. The biggest problem that I see is the background. There's little distinction between his shirt and the background and also the guitar and the background. I think that had a very negative impact on your score. This might have been avoided by using a different light setup or even a slightly lighter backdrop. (not white) I don't think white would have worked here either. There also seems to be some blur. That can sometimes be caused by a lighting issue or ISO. Good composition and good idea though. Happy shooting.

I love motion blur on wings - these creatures are so amazingly fast. In my opinion, you need better focus on at least the head, body, and flowers. The pink is pretty with the blue and the green.

Not a big fan of the green toning and the slight "HDR" look doesn't quite work. It might have worked better for me if there was more separation between the forground stone and trees. Also, the blue halo at the top looks strange..I guess a result of HDR like processing?

Is there a blue halo around the top......?

The desaturation is effective and brings out the character of the stone. Perhaps the composition is a tad too centered?

I don't know who/what "Black Betty" is but that big box in the foreground signifies plenty of power. Tone down that glare on the guitar and you have a good one going here.

I am posting this here because I am going through some of these with my new camera...
hopefully to get better at shooting and changing exposures.
