Psychic spies from Chinaby
xuan768Comment by dahkota: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Since you did not include any comments, this critique will be brief.
There are many things with which to judge an image: Composition, color/tonal balance, focus, POV, DOF, overall impression
Your composition here works well. In the 'best world, you would be slightly to your right and maybe your foot would hide less of your face, but for an action shot this works really well.
I like the use of B&W. I think it is effective for this image. I think you cover the range of tones well - you have blacks and whites.
The image is in focus, the DOV works for the image and the POV is excellent - very creative.
My overall impression is that this is a well executed image.
With regard to the challenge: At DPC there is a tendency for voters to dislike noise and less than tack sharp images. If you did not have both of those, the image would definitely have scored higher. I am in no way saying that is the best thing for the image; I am saying that is what voters prefer. I also think the title does not quite fit: the man is kicking but the title refers to psychic spies. I can't see a relation.
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to PM me.
