Max, I love the image, wonderful imagination. As one who knows how extension ladders look I can see (or should I say canĂ¢€™t see) how you did it, LOL. Well done, and should have rated higher..

Hey there from the Critique Club

My thoughts on the image: Definitely interesting. I appreciate the oddity of the subject, and I do like the crisp focus you achieved, as well as a nice depth of field. The window, though, is a bit distracting to my eye.

My ideas for improvement: Back off from the window a bit and reduce the distortion of the frame itself. I still maintain that I like the depth of field, but I'd like to see the window frame becomes a little less prominent to the overall image.

Where I would have/did score this entry: I did not vote in this challenge, but this one would have drawn a 4 or a 5 from me. I think that the voters scored you appropriately.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

that reminds me of my dad, trying to keep an eye on me and my boyfriend or something. Cute idea. and the orange ladder really brings your attention to it. Only flaw i see is the subject is a little too far into eh top half of the frame.

Wish you'd cropped out the rope hanging from the ladder - but a very interesting idea.
