this is a nice candid portrait... the image feels too 'plastic'... maybe an overuse of neatimage and the sharpening tools...

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi woutje :)

This is an excellent photo and I believe the voters agreed. Graphicfunk's post challenge comment sums up why this photo is appealing. It has simple visual appeal and it does meet the challenge very well. It's clean and simple. Photos that show a great execution of a technique (like long exposures) generally do well. I can't offer you any suggestions for improvement on this because I don't think there are any. Excellent work :)

Hi manic35 :)

I think this is an excellent choice of images for the challenge. The long exposure in traffic does give the 'warp speed' effect quite nicely. I also like the vignette effect in the bottom of the frame created by the car's headlights. There really isn't much room for critique here because I can't suggest a way to improve it. The voters also seemed to like it quite a bit based on your score. Excellent work :)

Neuromancer - William Gibson (1984) - "Unthinkable complexity"

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi gooc :)

I think this is an excellent image. I dind't vote on this challenge and I don't know the literary item you chose for your theme either, but I think the image is very strong on it's own. I like the point of view and the 'complexity' of the composition as well. I believe that this photo didn't score well in the challenge because of the actual complexity though. It's a very unfortunate situation on DPC that causes this phenomenon. I believe that the nature of the challenge and the number of entries therein doesn't lend itself well to any single image that requires much thought from the viewer. If you browse the winning photos in any challenge(s) you will quickly see that they are all quite simplistic in their composition and themes. There are rarely winners that actually require the viewer to think much about what they are seeing. Each image usually has immediate and strong visual appeal/impact regardless of the chosen theme...

Keep up the good work :)
