I like the DOF and I like the fact that you chose to have one match head sticking up a little from the rest. Pretty neat.

I like the way the texture of the matchstick heads looks. Great shot

Oh, what a great job on lighting here. Awesome texture in the shot. I'm wondering if maybe just a slightly deeper dof could be more effective? Maybe not? Cool shot though, nice idea.

First glance: D'oh, the answer's in the title!
A little too little DoF.

Comment by ericwoo:
Identifiable, and the focus seems to be in the worng location. I do like the shallow DOF, but I would have focused around the standing match.

Nice use of shadows here, great how they capture his muscles. I would have work the tattoo away though

Greetings from the Critique Club

When this image popped up on my screen in the random selection that we get here at the Critique Club, I thought "oh, this is the one I liked!" and sure enough, my vote was one of your four 10s. So, I'm going to be a bit prejudiced about critiquing this image.

I loved the dark, ominous mood of this well composed image. And if you did it handheld, more power to you. It is as crisp as it needs to be to maintain that mood. If I had to nitpic, (and it would be a nitpic) I'd suggest that if you had composed your shot to eliminate the lights at the right border, it would have eliminated an unnecessary attention getter.

Other than that, your score must have been a matter of personal like or dislike for our voters, as the image meets the Challenge perfectly and is technically and artistically well done (IMO).

Keep up the good work.
