From the CTP MkII

First Impression:
NOOKlear! Not quite Warholia, but I don't think that's what you were gunning for. 6.;p
Composition:
Centered vertical. It's a bit too compositionally static for my tastes... would've looked for a more dynamic composition for such wild colors. 5, which is the center of all things.
Subject:
Ah, cuban? 8... Viva la Cubanos!XD
Technical:
6. For curves and levels overkill.
Improvement:
A more dynamic composition, I guess. Off center or diagonal works, for that fuuunky munky effect.
Summary:
Nice photo, all things considered. Keep it up!

Adding to favs. I really love the glimmery opalescent look. Cool idea and edit.

Hello!!

I like the colours, they work well.
I can't help imagening what the pic would look like in horisontal format? I think it would give it movement.
I can't think of anything else...

The best of luck:)

Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression:
Clever and Striking!

Composition:
Works quite fine. I can't see this looking any better in another compostion.

Subject:
Very fascinating. It has that pop art look. You should probably get this printed out or at least a print version online because this could be something that sells for you.

Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting are exceptional. The light really gives shape and dimension to the ashes and the color makes it really pop.

Improvement:
None really. However, if you tried this again for DPC I might remove that background noise so it looks cleaner and appeal to the neatimage folks, which are aplenty.

Summary:
Great image. A strong take to the challenge but most of all creative. Your score doesn't do this justice by a long shot.

The pitfalls of creating art. I still think this is one of the best of the bunch. A your score should be far higher. Love the creativity.

Cool! I love the effect, I'm guessing you did a bit more than just invert it, but its very bold.

Must have been some extreme curves/levels you applied. Looks more like a concert poster than a photograph. 5
