Hello! You have requested a comment from the critique club:
First Impression/Opinion: WOW! if you were going for the 'freak people out' factor you sure nailed it here! what an unexpected image for this challenge! this is a really raw, intriguing shot, and also not something we see here on DPC every day! I keep looking at the image trying to decide how i feel about it. I think you have created a successful photograph here because 1) it gets a reaction out of people and 2) it gets people thinking. congratulations on that!
Composition: I would have chosen a tighter crop on the person and not so much emphasis on the door. it is a lot of wasted space that could have been taken advantage of (especially with our size restrictions.)
Actually maybe even a horizontal image may have had a stronger impact on the viewer here? Also you said in your photographer notes that you wanted the background to be cluttered and messy.i think maybe a cleaner background would have given more attention to the subject, it is a little distracting.
Post Processing: like i said before this shot gives off a very real and raw feeling so i think i prefer the processing how it is, it seems like this is happening before my eyes! no fancy processing is needed!
Challenge Criteria: it does fit the challenge.
My Vote: I did not vote on your image, i would have given it a 6 or 7
Placement: you were well aware of what you were getting yourself into when submitting this shot! haha. But for a shot like this a 4.2 was probably expected. Don't let the voters get you down though, this is not a run of the mill photograph! |

You can't walk away now......(sinister laugh), I didn't vote but would have given you a high mark for the title. |

Troubling shot. What makes you dream this up and then shoot it? Will read up your comments post results. |

Shock value.......yes. Composition though is not as good as it could be, and I think for this type of image to really work, all of the technicals have to be spot on, as other voters are going to vote it low on the subject.......... |
