::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
HAHA, yeah that's a LOT of LOVE LOL. Firat thing that I notice in this picture is issues with trying to blur the background in Photoshop. It just didn't work for you, it just didn't come off as natural and shows haloing around the edges.

Composition:
Not extremely powerful. For one the middle fingers flyin' in the air are a bit too close to the top of the photo and get lost up there. Move them down to about the top thirds line and it'd work well.

Subject:
The subject, which I think is more the fingers flyin' gets lost at it's current position.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color and lighting are good, but focus is a bit soft. As a rule, always apply a bit of USM after resize for a sharp shot.

To grow its vote?:
When you do edits like this, make sure they are complete before entering. If it looks unnatural or unfinished, voters are going to slam you.

Summary:
Even though it has flaws I really think it's funny as hell, especially with that title :-)

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

Was taken at a Toby Keith concert. He was kicking off his 4th free tour to US Servicemen and their families. Don't remember what he was saying to provove the guy in the pic, but practically the whole audience was doing it. That pick didn't turn out though. I got alot of great pics there because there were no restrictions on still cameras.

I liked this one, the context of the scoreboard worked for me!

Fantastic pose! Depth of field outstanding. Everyone has felt this way, great connection to the song.

LOL ... is that a stock ticker??? The image is a little awkward looking but it cleverly fits the challenge. 6

Hahahaha...I can even hear this song in my head as I view your image.

Very funny! Bump.

Nice catch and good social commentary. The picture would be better if we could see what he was upset about. 6

Great candid photo. I like the composition and the fact that it's not a setup shot. Nice photo ! 9

He definitely needs a little lovin.

Different concept for this song, but actually really fits the title.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

If the title had been right would have scored higher....5

it's "all YOU need is love......". Like the photo, but it's not quite right!
