Greetings from the Critique Club!
There is a clear link between the picture and the title, which is always a good thing; you have definitely met the challenge. I wouldn't consider myself a movie buff, but I have seen probably more than the average number of movies, and I haven't heard of this one. Generally the entries that did well in this challenge used movies that are contemporary and fairly well known, so I think that worked against you here.
You did a good job of not blowing out any of the snow, which can be tough to do while still exposing the rest of the image well. I see that you used a very low ISO, which probably helped with that. However, the lighting looks very flat- it looks like the day was overcast. It might have been better to do this image at a higher ISO (and therefore higher contrast- a bit of grain would probably be an acceptable tradeoff for better depth in lighting) or at a time with less of a cloud cover.
It is generally good to follow the rule of thirds (if you're not familiar with this, I think there is a tutorial about it on this site). The subject of your photo is rather far to the left, which creates tension with the border and makes the composition feel lopsided. It would have been preferable to have him further into the frame, with a more comfortable distance from the edges of the image.
That will do for now. Just keep taking pictures :) |
