Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Brandon,

I think this is a great shot. I'm not familiar with the song, but I think the image fits the title quite well :) I really like the shallow depth of field presented here. I'm a sucker for strong contrasts. The tonal range of this image is also very impressive. It's one of those images that I would like to reach out and touch. The sharpness of the broken glass shards are part of what makes this a high impact image for me. I can't really make any suggestions for improvement for you on this image, and I'm not sure why it did not score higher than it did. I haven't read your comments on this image yet, but I will go do that. The only thing I can imagine that would have cost points on this photo is the shallow depth of field. That single aspect is what makes this photo so strong in my opinion. Some people like to see everyting in focus, whether it makes a stronger image or not.

Keep up the great work :)

** After reviewing your comments on this image, I definitely have NO idea why it didn't score better. There is no indication of why it wasn't better received... your comments seem to support this image... go figger....

Nice abstract!

Almost missed that the glass is dark blue and not black. Maybe a lighter blue or lighten the photo. Other wise, nice one. 7 PTL

This is one of those shots that I didn't particularly care for one the first go 'round, but on subsequent looks, I like the texture, color, and lighting. Very nicely done abstract, I think.

Good shot. Don't know the band, so I'll take your word for it. Shallow DOF seems to work for this shot. Sorry, but it doesn't really wow me, but it is a pretty good shot, score bump from 6 to 7. Swash

Love the shade of blue. Cropped and bordered nicely. Also I like the DOF. Did you plan to have the cross on the left side of the image? Divine intervention? *10*

I like your selection of cropping (much wider than tall). Neat depth of field. Jacko.

like the cropping, good choice of focus point. nice jagged horizon line.

Great idea and cool effect. I just wish there was more of a blue color in the glass it almost looks dark purple to black.6.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo

Blue glass? Looks really cool. I like the very sharp looking, crips focus edge on the middle piece. The angle and framing/cropping is great. I really like the border as well. I think it looks great with the shot. I've never heard the song, but the shot and title definately go well together, so mission accomplished. Very nice lighting as well. Good luck in the challenge.
