This is a really good photo, though the use of negative space is questionable, as so much of the frame is full of detail.

Excellent work. I'm not a big fan of the limited DOF for this shot, but it doesn't really detract from the image either. Your negative space definitely adds the impact that this photo needs. Nice job.

The negative space here gives depth to the image. DOF works well. Color and composition don't detract. 7

A striking picture. It's a pity his left hand is out of focus. I'm just not sure it fits with the challenge. Perhaps it would have worked if the ground was out of focus.

Catania
Greetings from the Critique Club

Like many other people who looked at this image and commented, my first reaction was "oh, how very sweet!" It was a delightful moment and a good capture. It tells a good sports story.

Technically, I think your image was well exposed and you managed to get it at a time when you could avoid harsh shadows (or you compensated for them in RAW). Nice.

Compositionally, I too would prefer to see a closer crop. It's an intimate moment, and could use an intimate frame for that moment.

I look forward to seeing more of your work. You brought me down memory lane for a moment when I saw the city of Catania in your profile. I visited Sicily for a few weeks a while ago and was enchanted with your beautiful island. But only spent a few brief hours in Catania at the airport...
