Hello from the Critique Club!
I have studied your image and have the following to offer:
Composition/perspective - the scene here is very busy and cluttered. I am not sure what I am supposed to be focused on. I try and focus on the foreground and get distracted by all the clutter. I try and focus on the mid/background and get distracted by the grain and clutter. Just seems to be no real area to capture the attention. With the already opposing angles in the structure, the cocked angle of the shot adds to the confusion. Having the camera straight would help this a lot. The focus seems soft or slightly off. You did not list the ISO used so this may be adding the the appearance of noise in the shot. On some of the beams the edges are just not clear when they should be.
Color - the palette here seems very muted. Although there is brighness in the background, the foreground seems more dark that it needs to be. The colors seem to blend from half dark to dark and the color is lost. As an example, the trees inside the room can be seen as green, but the color is overshadowed by the general brown/bronze tone of the shot. This may have worked better as a black and white image. This may have allowed more separation within the tonal ranges present.
Lighting - overall this is a dark image. It appears to be inside with no flash and only natural light. Not much to work with here.
Challenge requirements - I think this is the weakest aspect of the image. It is not clear what the element of camouflage is. If there was some single element that stood out as a subject this may become more clear.
Overall/my opinion - this image is hard to look at with the angle of the camera. Too many already opposing lines and angles have now been put at odds with other elements they should not be. The features outside the window could be considered an element for meeting the challenge requirements - camouflage, but they are not prominent enough in the scene to make the connection. |

| Obviously you saw something in this that I can't find. I would be interested in learning what it was. |
