Critique Club how are ya Hugh? Kiwi here :-)

Okay thís is my first critique for months and the only one I will do for a while! Just found some time to do one, it's yours, so here it comes.

Okay, first up, you met the challenge in more than one way. You actually filled the frame literally. I like the humour aspect here and I am really astounded you only got one comment on this photo!

The lighting is good (looking from a laptop here!) I think the main problem tho is that people thought that this is a photo of a photo. I mean if you really look at it, you can't really see that you've put a frame around the motor bike. I see what you have done and I like the idea, but if you look at it quickly (as most 5 second voters do) then it is just a photo of a photo. Maybe you could have titled it differently so that the voters wouldn't think it was just a photo!

That's all Hugh! Sorry you put so much work into this image, it really should have done much better, only had we had somehow known it wasn't a photo of a photo.

See ya

I think this shot could have been a lot better if you had reframed it. Now, there are to many distractions. You could try to crop it a bit tighter right and bottom to remove the lamp posts and tree. I would also like to see a bit more space to the left of the crane. I gave it a 2.

Should have cropped out the lights on the bottom. The colors are bad... try using Levels in Photoshop, etc.

I would have liked to see what this looked like with just the crane and not the building/lights below. I'm sure that couldn't be helped though. Nice job!

Nice reference to the story - would have prefered the statue to occupy a larger portion of the frame

i feel like there has been a very slight motion blur applied to this image and it's kind of unsettling. pretty good lighting, though, especially in the highlights in the glasses and the texture and color the hair. 6.
