i cant belive this didn't get higher.. the mood here is really nice, if i was a fan of the band i would sure like that thing hanging at my wall.. i think this is very well done and the DOF on the text makes it more interesting to me.. a nine from me if i had voted :S

Greetings from the Critique Club

Congratulations. You got through your first DP Challenge. Always the hardest. And the person whose Username you chose liked your interpretation. A big plus. And it's an interesting collage.

However, your image didn't score very well. So I have a few suggestions that you might think about.

First, the piece of paper with the red printing on it is really blurred and it takes up a great deal of the front of your image. Viewers tend not to like having to work hard to get at the center of interest, so I'd suggest reducing the amount of space that the paper takes up.

Then, when printing is involved, people always try to read it, so it's important to make the most important bits tack-sharp. While I assume you used a tripod, perhaps some bracketing could bring out the sharpness in the text.

Finally, while you made the musical point well, the composition is, perhaps, just a touch busy and doesn't have a strong focal point of interest. Perhaps if the number of items being presented were reduced the composition would be more interesting to the viewer.

Still, it's a good interpretation and it looks as if you had fun pulling it all together.

I'll look forward to seeing more of your work on DPC.

A creative take on such a popular username for this contest. An extra point for not doing the same thing everyone else did!

Not a bad photo, but compared with other entries it doesn't hold my interest as well, but that's just me.

Just doesn't compare to the other much better "Stare at the Sun" images.
