Greetings from the Critique Club!

First Impression:
Not much to keep my eye interested in the shot and not sure how this relates to misunderstanding. The glow is neat, and I wonder how it was accomplished. After reading the title, I am guessing that this might represent a line of blood where someone is attempting suicide after feeling that they are misunderstood?

After reading the photographer comments: You didn't give any additional comments to help someone who is critiquing the photo understand what you were trying to say with this photo, or any details about a setup so that I can help you figure out how to improve. After looking through a few other challenge entries in your portfolio, this seems to be a trend for you. I would suggest adding a few words about what your background thinking was, how you set up your shots, or what you were trying to achieve if you want to get more constructive criticism on how to improve a shot.

To improve the score:
I think this was a very abstract idea (if I am correct in your interpretation of the shot), and DPC'ers usually have a hard time with abstract. The shot was completely reliant on the title for me, and from reading the comments you received during the challenge, it appears that the title wasn't even enough for some voters to see what you were aiming for. If this had been a shot entered in an abstract challenge, it may have done better, but many people probably felt it was DNMC, and the visuals/technicals weren't strong enough to carry the shot to a better score.

Good luck in your future challenges! If you have any questions about my critique, please feel free to PM me.

What is this and why is it a misunderstanding? It kind of looks like a pair of lips. A little too undefined for my taste.

Not sure where this fits into the challenge to be honest. Nonetheless, I'd love to know what this is and how you did it.

Im not really sure what to make of this shot, the color is breaking down and I can see banding through it, there is not a smooth transition from the red to the black.

This is a weird image. It definitly has some mystery factor to it. I am not sure where the misunderstanding comes in, but I am going to guess that you do. 6

Sorry, but I don't get what the misunderstanding is in this shot.

interesting abstract, but without the title, wouldn't think it was a relation to blood. For this challenge not seeing how it realy ties in with a solid misunderstanding.
