Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Nice focus, but I think a deeper depth of field would help. I'd like to clearly see the columns in the background as well.

Lighting: Your lighting is a little flat. The shadows in the column heads help out a bit, but this one needs a bit more contrast.

Composition/Content: The centered composition hurts this one. Perhaps standing a bit either side would have made this one even more appealing.

My Opinion: I think that you met the challenge well, and that this one scored close to its potential.

It needs a bit more contrast, you've got some keystoning going on so I would have either straightened it out using perspective crop or else removed the left bit of the image which makes it so obvious. It also looks a tad soft but that might be the image reduction.

I love this! Looks like it was taken at Cave Hill Cemetary in Louisville, KY. Nice lighting!

The crop follows the column but it's just too boring for me im afraid.
