Greetings from the Critique Club -

First off - welcome to the wonderful world that is DPC. I hope you dont find it as addicting as I do. It can lead to way too much time spent here. But you can also learn tons.

Now - to your trial by fire. ;)

You have an interesting character here for sure. But his impact is taken away by the soft focus and snapshot feel. It's cropped a bit tight around his feet and the guy walking out of the frame is a bit distracting. A better focus on what is in your frame before shooting would have helped some of these issues. That is something that comes with practice. As forthe focus/sharpness issues I cant quite tell where the focus is. Your shutter speed was fast enough that it should have stopped any action. I just cant see where you had the focus markers on. A tough first entry. But upwards is where you can go.

My first 4 entries were all 4 scores. I know how it feels to start here. Hang out, look at images that score well and study them, read descriptions, read how to threads, ask members questions. DPC has a wealth of resources to help you improve.. THats what we are here for. Most of all have fun and shoot what makes you happy. If it makes others happy too you will get better scores. If it doesnt then you won't. But try to stay true to yourself and have fun experimenting.

I loo kforward to seeing your future entries. PLease feel free to PM if you have any questions or if I may be able to help out in any way. Good luck!

Tim

Nice candid. The guy in the right forground is kind of distracting. I would do a tighter crop.

Needs more contrast. Also, looks as if the musician has two heads.

In my opinion you have to choose. Or the singer, or the man with the sigaret. I think both is too much.
