Talya's Critique (Critique Club on break)
first off this is one of the few I gave a 10 for this challenge. Great photo, personally I think it should have placed higher.
Composition - excellent composition... good choice on using three of each hand. I love the sharpest hand as being the one that is just hitting the target! Great job with that. Also a terrific use of the body at the bottom of the pic.
Lighting - wonderful, no hot spots, even lighting. very nice job with that.
Background - I wish the background were solid black, and showed up solidly as black, that is my only comment for that. good choice of not using a distracting background. Excellent use of blank space at the back.
Fits the challenge - one of the best. even without the title, I knew what you were going for and that makes a great picture! I love the human interaction, it's really excellent.
Exposure - great job, everything is perfect
focus - the body looks maybe a tad bit soft, but thats it. Otherwise great job here!
Overall - I love this photo, it got the point across, it's well done, very creative, and great looking! Great job!
