Quite unique shot. Excellent composition. I like the shallow DOF as well.

So simple yet so effective - nice use of color gradations and negative space.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi gooc :)

If you request a critique from the critique club, you should always fill out your 'Photographer's Comments' field when you submit your photo. When you don't include your own thoughts on the image, you can't really expect someone else to give their time and effort to give you a critique. It makes me think that you don't care enough about your own photo to take the time to post your thoughts on it...

I like this image quite a bit. It has a very interesting surreal mood, which adds significantly to the theme of this challenge. In the afterlife, things may seem unique, obscure, and dreamy in general. I like to think of it that way. This photo scored over 6 so the general population liked it as well. I read through your comments and the negative ones seem to be on items that would make it less surreal if they were implemented. Take those with a grain of salt :)

this is very very sleek.
classy.
surreal, even.
i think it does bring out a feeling of afterlife,
because of how almost alien this looks.
the colors were gd: cool and clean.
i love the use of silhouette and reflection here.
think that the background's line is very gd too.
it leads me to the subject.

only downside is that i feel that the circle could'v been a complete one.
it being cut off just like that is slightly disturbing.

all in all, very nice, sleek and classy.
great effort. :D

excellent composition: may be could be better without the cut in the right side

This is one of the more creative ones.

Great composition. Really like the way you put this together. The glow around the tube is a nice touch. Good luck in the challenge.

I think the concept here is about the best of the lot and I love the colour tones. Just wish there was more sharpness/definition and am distracted by the sloping horizon. Such a shame, this could have been a 10 score.

Good photo. Lovely colors, and I like the unusual framing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2006 12:24:52 PM
Well done, you have some competition with a couple of other similar type shots in this challenge but I hope you do well.

 03/10/2006 09:32:20 PM
That is a rad picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2006 04:29:21 PM
welcome yourself... Like it, with the reflection it's almost a rule of thirds. Nice job
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 10:44:11 PM
Nicely done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 03:05:20 PM
This is a cool idea, the figure being the only thing in focus adds a nice touch. But I think it would look better with a level horizon.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 12:31:33 PM
This would have done better IMO if the horizon was straight.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 11:56:56 AM
Sort of surreal...i like it!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 02:05:27 AM
I really love this, I'm anxious to learn how you did it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/09/2006 01:34:44 AM
seems like too much empty space. i mean i know that is part of the point. but it just seems too much to me. sorry
