Another 5.5 for me to critique. I could tell this would be at the top of the range as it has some dynamics to it, even though it's a fairly simple image. The best part is the diagonal composition you chose and the shallow DOF which puts the 3 OOF. Excellent stuff.
Would I change anything? Totally minor, but I may have moved the chalk just a bit to the left so it doesn't interfere with the 1. Other than that, I think you did about as well with the image as you could. The only problem is it's general lack of "wow". On DPC "wow" gets you to the higher scores. You can see this by the vast majority of votes being 5 or 6. People give those votes to picture which are technically well done but don't quite hold their attention long enough to get higher. |
