The more I look at this the more I like it. Has a great feel, mystery, intrigue. It's really nice. I don't care for the border, but it's good work.

Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

Composition - Well I'm gonna take a stab at the question that I think you're trying to ask. "What is that bright glowing thing up there?" I don't know if that's it, but maybe its another interpretation. At any rate, I think it meets the challenge. The concept is good. The lighting of this shot is really good. The overexposure of the streetlamp and the dim light on the street are very well done and balanced where one is not too dark and the other not too bright. The subjects pose is convincing too. Good work.

Technical - I think the only thing that kept this one from getting any higher is the motion blur of the subject. Meaning you should've just froze and took the picture midstep instead of walking. It could work as a motion blur if you made it look more intentional. It's kind of in the area where it's almost intentional looking, but not quite. Exposure and framing are right on in this shotl

Overall - pretty well done. Only one thing that I think the voters had to hammer you on, and I am pretty sure they did. But I think it is a pretty good picture. The focus issue will never die here. If you don't make it look sooooo obvious that you did this on purpose, voters will think you messed up. At least half of them I believe will think that when a picture isn't crystal clear. Good luck in the future challenges - Bob

Does make me feel like there is danger present. I like the use of purple on this shot but I wish the figure was more in focus.

Freaky, I'd hope I had my .357 with me. :) Very cool shot. The purple tone gives even more impression of "Danger".

Wonderful. Like the Blur. Was it computer aided or Camera intentional?
