::: Critique Club :::
Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
First Impression - the most important one:
What is the focus .. am I looking at the reflection or the toy .. there is a lots .. if not too much going on here.
Composition:
Hard to tell the two compositions are fighting each other. I think this is where you got hit. You have choosen to focus the reflection in the title .. which tells people what to look at .. but are fully focused on the toy which seems to bug people.
Subject:
Meets the challenge with total gusto.
Technical (Colour and light):
I like the use of black and white if we are focusing on the reflected image .. for the toy I think colour would work. I like the use of natural lighting as well.
To grow its vote?:
Choose a image and create that ... I think you have done ok .. but have confused ... people like to be clear on the picture quite often ..
Summary:
This appears to be a new type of shooting for you .. a risk yes .. but keep challenging yourself you did ok.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
Kari |

IS that a tinker toy?
I think it would be a little better if the courthouse reflection was stronger.
Interesting image though. |

this is a great B&W with a complette grayscale and a really gripping subject the reflection is a really touch....(no duh lol) and the brick work is really coptivating and holds alot of really great texture... bottom line is there is way too much to praise about this one nicly done,
i'm a sucker for a good grayscale image, GL |

Too difficult to make out the reflections in the window... I can see the church but not sure what everything else is. |

good idea, but compositionally lacking...not really all that pleasing to look at to be honest. |

Interesting, I like the perspective and the use of glass reflection properties. Nice use of B&W too. |

Image seems a little dark
The idea is good and the image itself is well focus maybe the contrast needs a little boost |

Unfortunately the crazy looking art piece inside the window draws too much attention away from the reflection. The composition and tonal range is nice though. |
