Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
OK .. sometimes I wished I golfed so I can understand why this is exciting .. but this is a good solid shot ... even without that understanding.

Subject:
This meets the subject .. but as you see from your score this is treated slightly subjectively ... the thing I take into account .. is can the picture stand without the title .. or does it really need the title to tell the story. For electricity it needs the title ... but it is still a great night shot.

Composition:
I feel that although this meets the dimension of 620 on the long side the shot itself is very small and cramped ... I feel that it is missing something ... and it is probably the light you took out.

Technical (Colour and light):
Great fantastic and beautiful colours ... I like how real the greenary is in this shot.

To grow its vote?:
A little more focus on the electricity may have dealt with the low votes ... creating the theme linkage is important here ... as you will have learned.

Summary:
Great work .. and a lovely shot.

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Wow ..awesome colours ... a little disconcerted at the angle (but that is me) ... the patterns and leading lines are great.

Subject:
Well done ... meets the challenge in so many ways.

Composition:
I love the way that the lines in the sky created a leading line for the eye to follow ... I found the angle a little weird .... I also think that the changing of the colours leads you through the picture as well.

Technical (Colour and light):
Lovely .. awesome .. beautiful .. not a lot is say on these really.

To grow its vote?:
I might have tried cropping out the trees .. .just to give a complete sky look .. rather than a ground up approach .. but that is only an option .. your crop is great.

Summary:
Great work .. awesome and congrats on the top 10.

Small .. out of focus .. or is it just a little too soft.

I looked at the other shot you took on the couch and was a little ho hum .. but this shot I really like ... I like the focus and the natural light ... I think that having the camera higher .. or for you to have looked ahead instead of down may have been slightly more flattering ... both for the lighting and the lines on the facial area.

Good shot, I think that the DOF is great .... agreed some background is ok .. but maybe a little much here.
