Shot from my deck. Jumped and shot with a remote trigger. Camera on tripod. Face naturally lit by the setting sun.

After the shoot, decided to turn it black and white, and really bump up the contrast with two curves layers. Sharpen, smart grain removal, etc.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Definitely an underdog shot, and as I gave you a 7 in voting, somewhat surprised that it didn't do better. But this is quite edgy and I can see why some refer to Apple - it does have that very clean, stylized, graphic-novel look. I personally love low POVs, and the stark leading lines do make this a very strong image. Oh, those voters...grrr!

I would say that the cut-off leg/foot definitely had an impact on your score, and perhaps some of those masses of white space you're about to fly into. Your hand is at a third but may have done better if your body was more at that third, than behind it.

Still, you finished on a respectable score, so keep on shooting and entering what you want. And above all, have fun.

Feel free to PM me,

Susan

Inspiring in a commercial sense, apple would love it.

A lot of open space in this photo. And lots of contrast. I think if we could have seen both feet, as opposed to just the one, it would have done a little more justice. but I like the idea here.
