Hi from the CTP2 club:)
I like this image. Its a bit grainy for my liking. The stripes on the shirt in the background are a bit distracting...
Maybe if you left more of the cross in?
The colours are nice, they help with the mood. |

Comment from a member of your own commenting club :-)
This picture has potential.
What is good?:
1. The subject is good.
2. The model is good, good expression on his face.
3. Cropping is good, leading lines make you look at all the picture.
What could be done better?:
1. Title is not good. I would prefer "Old religion" or something like that.
2. Too much red colour
3. The picture is grainy. It is well possible that you did that on purpose but I think that it would be a lot better without it. Try using NeatImage to take away the grain.
4. To much light on his cheeks.
Overall a good picture that scored IMO to low.

Hello from me via the CTP2 thread!
The color and model's expression are very good. However, here's where things get rough:
The crop is way too tight. The top of the head is cut off, along with most of the body and cross. Particularly the hands. The cross is an important element in the photo, but it's been truncated.
The noise is distracting. I know I tend to add noise when I'm trying to cover up an unsalvageable lack of sharpness, so it makes me wonder why that decision was made unless it's designed to hide a flaw like that. Otherwise, it seems rather unnecessary.
Finally, the biggest reason I think that photos failed in this challenge was that they just did not convey a sense of "old". "Old" needed to be projected as a concept, and that's just not the first thing that pops into my head when I look at this. The model is young. I think of religious pageantry. I don't automatically think "old". Most Western Christian portrayals of the Stations of the Cross will involve a crown of thorns, which is conspicuously missing from the photo. I don't think that Senakulo is very familiar to most of the DPC audience, and anything unfamiliar tends to get voted down.
My only suggestion here, really, is to give more consideration to what the DPC audience is going to want to see. On abstract concepts like "Something Old", make sure the photo screams "OLD!" as loudly as possible. |

| I'm not sure in what conditions you took the photo, but I think it would be possible to get greater clarity especially considering the IS of the lens and speed of shutter used. The scene had great potential for an interesting and high quality photo. |

OJ Greatings from your own Critique Club. You didn't have any entry last week, so I am commenting on this one.
Here is what I like about the image.
- Composition
- Expressions
Here some things needs improvement IMO
- Picture is too sharp.
- There are some blown outs on the forehead and the face.
- Most important of all - DNMC (Does not Meet the Challenge). You will see this trend on DPC. You will get low score for DNMC.
Best of luck for your future entries. |

good composition, but not a very good photograph.
Just for the sake of composition, giving you 8/8. Why didn't you run away, and capture the whole procession??? It couldhave been a great pic.
However, the composition is great, but for Christ's sake, dont use christ, as your subject again...

| Interesing. With the graininess it has the look of an old movie still. It's a bit too tightly cropped, making it hard to make out the purpose of the people in the background. |
