Greetings from the Critique Club
Interesting! I haven't seen jousting this close up before, and you really zeroed in.
You know if it was just the head, arm and the weapon, this would be an extroadinary action image. It's unfortunate that the background is so pronounced because it's hard to find the main attraction. A little strategic blurring might have made a difference in the scoring ...
But then, with all the lines and nearly monochromatic colors going everywhere, this (IMO, of course) almost makes it as an abstract.
This one came close, but in a quick look at your portfolio, I see you've got a lot of winners and we all get one of the other kind once in a while.
:-))
Good luck in your next Challenge. |

| Nice idea, but the work gloves and bamboo swords distract me from what you were trying to capture. |

| Interesting subject. The composition's good, although I might have cropped off the rightmost part (but that's just opinion). The thing that's going to hurt the most scorewise is the focus. There isn't anything in the shot that's quite in focus. I'm just guessing, but since it's a cloudy day and your subject is moving, you might have needed a bit faster shutter speed. But hey, how many knights in action do we get to see on DPC??? |

| the subject is not clearly in focus, and the background doesnt have enough blur to make the foreground subject stand out. the subject isnt that interesting.. it doesnt have any Wham to it (unless he hits you with that stick hehe). the crop is good tho, the placement of the subject is good.. its just not a strong image for a free study. |

| Like the tight crop. Needs to be sharper though. |
