A Weather Vane in SW Georgia. All I did was take the picture, crop it, adjust the colors a little bit (The original itself was almost black and white).

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 4 or 5.

Normally I would say that the image is too dark overall, but as a whole, I don't mind it so much with this photograph. It gives the photo an overall creepy, or bad weather kind of feel. The composition is pretty safe as you've left ample negative space around the weather vane. Although I can see the bokeh, it is sublte. I think you'll find that voters on this site like the obvious more so than the mysterious. (many voters only spend a few seconds looking at a photograph before moving on to the next one)

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

The silhouette is great, but i'm not convinced with the bokeh. Your photo is noisy too, but it was a great idea, it's just missing some tweak.

Bokeh is really good. Increasing the contrast could have enhanced the photo.
