**Critique Club**
FIRST IMPRESSION: It's an armadillo. First thing I saw. Background somewhat flat.
CHALLENGE: "Create a photograph where right angles produce the strength of the image." I'm not sure that you've accomplished that task - while I see a few right angles in the photograph, they don't stand out as being critical to the photograph itself.
COMPOSITION: The shadows and lighting seem to make the photograph seem flat. The level of detail/focus is good, but it just doesn't jump out to me. While the armadillo adds an element of interest, it just doesn't seem enough to compentsate.
TECHNICAL: Somewhat flat... I think either a different angle of shot, or photographer positioning, would give this image more depth.
CONCLUSION: I can see where this meets the challenge, though the presentation of the few right angles in this shot could be better. I'm fairly sure it's the angle you shot this from that makes it flatter and less appealing than it would have been otherwise. Take this into account next time, and I think your images will improve quite a bit.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges! |

| This is a neat photo; I like the way you caught it frozen mid-step. I'm not really convinced that the right angles here contribute to the strength of the photo, though they don't damage it, either. There's some graininess evident, particularly in the shadows. |

| Clever use of right angles with the armadillo turning the corner. Light seems very harsh and bright here. |

| Pretty good picture. I am going to give it a five though. The challenge states that a right angle(s) should produce the strength of the picture. My focus constantly goes to the animal there in the picture. |

| Overexposed shot. Was the picture taken on autoexposure. If not was a very high ISO used. Maybe the it was noon and the sun was right above.Composition is very good. One can see the whole 'dillo and the right angles of the building and the floor. Might look pretty good in B&W |

Nice specimen - Are they native or is it an exotic pet?
Your picture has too much noise - and the connection to the challenge is a bit stretched |

| wonderful but the armadillo seems to me to draw the eye rather than the right angles |
