Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Todd. I really like your shot and the idea behind it. As a challenge entry it works the theme really well, IMO.

As mentioned during the challenge that dark barrier at the top really takes away from this image. Might I suggest taking a different angle perhaps further to the right or left of your subject, just enough to allow you to crop off that barrier. Or maybe have this person swim out to the barrier and stand on it instead? :P

Seriously, the barrier is the main thing but you probably already new that. The other thing is the image is on the small side. Taking advantage of the 640 width limit is really to your advantage especially in shots like this. It just gives a better impression about the quality when it's larger.

I really like this. The only problem is the black object in the background that are bumping into the person's head. I like the colors and the feel though.

a larger photo would be nice. Also rasing the camera slightly so the background blocks was not merging with the subject would improve the scene.
