Greetings from the Critique Club

I have to confess I was a little surprised this did not score higher. I thought it was a pretty strong image for this challenge.

Composition is good, it includes just the right balance of "busy-ness".

One comment I would make is that the image doesn't feel really, really sharp, but looking at your EXIF I can see that maybe a product of the 1600 ISO a relatively slow shutter speed. Without any image stabilisation it is difficult to get things tack sharp at less than 1/60.

Overall, I really like this image and am still surprised it did not score higher.

I've been out of circulation for awhile too. I can't believe this only got a 5.8. Things may have got extra harsh since our last foray. It was a super image as I said in my initial comments and I would have thought it clears 6.0 easily.

preferably try capturing the same one standing under the name... will give it an abstraction

I cannot believe this did not end up higher. I had it pegged to beat mine.
