Hello fron the DPC Critique Club!
I have studied your iamge and have the following to offer:
Composition/perspective: the balance in this shot is perfect. On one hand you are drawn right into the crowd and their enthusiasm. On the other hand you are drawn to the building in the background which gives it its political sense. Well thought out, even though it appears a spontaneous shot, and that is exactly what gives the image its strength. Your message, via title, is expressed perfectly and captures you instantly. Your angle of approach to the shot lends a real interesting element of apparent movement without motion blur that works well.
Color: well preserved colors throughout. The bright colors in the bio tubes in the foreground, that are so well captured, compared to the muted night colors of the background is very well done. Both retain their strength and present the local subjects perfectly.
Lighting: top half: very well controlled exposure to preserve and not distort the detail and gradations. Bottom half: extremely well controlled exposure for the foreground. The difficulty in balancing a dark background and a bright foreground (flash?) is so well done that both the top and bottom work not only together, but probably separaely as well.
Challenge requirements: very well met. Your message and intent is clear and well executed. I could picture this on a cover - rag or mag - very easily.
Overall/my opinion: at first glance you are drawn to the foreground, eliminating the background. But in the context of photojournalism, you are forced to look at the whole image and take in the combination of scene and headline. This image takes you to the exact point you should be at when viewing such a photo - the mood at the time - both sides. Very well done composition and and extremely well done image! |

It'll be interesting to see how you did this and to see if it passes the rules test. Giving it a 10 but I think major elements are artwork. |
Why on earth would I have done that? |

| This is a nice sharp image. However the use of a wide angle really flattened the people. |

| Faboulous lighting! Odd that the faces in front seem to be "squat in", almost like you changed the perspective of the image in photoshop. Perhaps it is just the way the lens took the picture. |

| It may have worked better to show a wider crowd shot to represent a larger crowd |

| I love it.....the expressions, the flash glare, even the foreground distortion...all go to give it emotion, which is what this challenge needs. |

| Great shot! The lense distortion towards the bottom is a bit distracting. 7 from me. |
