Fit Challenge Criteria: 2/2
Color/Contrast: 1/2
Composition: 2/2
Photo Quality: 0/2
My Subjective Affinity: 0/2
This could have been a winning photo, but the obvious dodging/burning was done very poorly on the weeds behind the bench and under it. More time could have rendered much better results, and possible a blue ribbon. |

It looks like you dodged the grass to much along with the bench! |

Did you use the dodge tool on the bench? I find that the light halo around the edges is a bit distracting. Otherwise, great subject for the challenge and I like the angle at which it was taken with the foilage in the background. |

Nice subject but slightly too much dodging. Burning the bench may have drawn out greater detail and the use of the shadow/highlight adjustment may have resulted in more impact. Good luck! |

It looks as though you tried to dodge the bench and left a halo around it. If this is what you wanted to do I am not sure I care for it, if you were trying to lighten up the bench you need to first make a selection out of it and then dodge. |

Interesting the way the bench kind of "glows"...it does look a little staged, not natural. Nice shot, nicely framed. |

your burning is way too obvious, use a smaller brush next time |

Nice choice for a B&W. A solid shot, overall. |

Potentially a nice shot, but painfully overprocessed. The lighter color around the bench betrays your use of Burn around the subject. PS should be used with subtlety to enhance the image, not distract from it. |
