Ouch. Right in the nabs. that's got to hurt. Nice action shot. More focus and the use of your fill flash could have helped. Jacko. 7

Can you see your next photo? All those highllights on footwear would make a great movement photograph.

It would have been good to crop white article at right. Good action photo.

Now that shape constraints have been removed from the challenges, I would have cropped out that chair.

Comment by Marsha:
I think a closer crop removing the white chair would make a big difference. Also, the focus is a little off.

...from Critique Club...

Hi Andrea

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Not very interesting :(

COMPOSITION:
I think your shot would have worked better if you had taken it from a different angle...perhaps straight down 90 degrees. This would have eliminated the edge of 'the sidewalk?' at the top of the photo. Also, I kinda like the shapes created on the ground, and if you had taken the shot so that the lines would all be horizontal/vertical instead of angled it would have made it more interesting. :(

TECHNICAL:
The overall lighting seems a bit poor. I'm not sure if you had a chance to control that or not. Focus seems a bit off. These could have been tweeked a bit in post processing (if available) by lightening the image and increasing contrast a bit. :(

ARTISTIC:
The idea is very original. I understand how you tried to show motion by capturing a bunch of footprints. There is perhaps too much 'other stuff' on the snow which is a bit distracting and makes the shot a bit too busy. Great attempt, though. :|

OVERALL:
I think with a bit of compositional and technical improvement this could actually be a decent shot.

Best of luck in the future. Don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions about this critique.

Cheers...zadore.
