| Hello from the Critique Club. After viewing the photo I have some suggestions for you. First its a great subject and the depiction of desolation is pretty well there. However the photo has some definate focus issues. And the moth seems to almost be blown out with very little detail and clarity. Centering and shooting straight down also seems to take away. Perhaps shooting at an angle and focusing on your subject and then recomposing your photos. Dont be afraid to compliment your photo with some editing, sharpening and adjusting colors, brightness, and contrast. Overall the photo scored about where I would have scored it. Good luck in future challenges. |

| That this is a great find and a great idea overwhelmed the technical issues for me. I'm sorry it didn't do better here, it certainly addressed the challenge well. Keep shooting what you like ;-) |

| That's an amazing find though I do wish the picture was much clearer, more detailed and sharper. |

| very nice - if the exposure were right and you hadn't lost the details of the wing, this would have been great. |

| Contrast is OK, but needs some sharpness. |

| I love the poetry of this. It doesn't quite offer the visual feast that my 9s and 10s do, but it is moving nonetheless. 8. |

| A great find for this challenge, just a little weak on the technicals. Sharpness and contrast would have seen this score better, I think :) |

| Dial down your exposure. The pic also seems blurry, maybe handheld zoom or digital zoon on a P&S camera??? |

The lighting, cropping, composition, and subject matter are all rather bland, with the ensuing results being that this image with not fare well in this challenge.
Keep plugging away, for it is only through time, effort and dedication that we can ever hope to improve. |

| Hmmm...well. I think think the focus is a little too soft for me. the highlights in the wings also seem a bit blown out. a different angle and better focus could make this a really interesting pic. |

| Great idea that needs some more clarity to really communicate what you want. ( My humble opinion anyway..) |

| Sad, certainly, and probably very desolate, but the photo is very flat and uninteresting. Also, with a shot like this you would want your main subject to be in crisp focus, but it appears the focus is here a few centimeters off. Giving it a more interestin crop could've helped immensely, you don't really need so much dirt arounf the wings. |

| This is a nice find but I wish it had more detail and was abit more in focus. Also I don't know what you use to prepare your images for challenges but you might look at this link. You can get more detail if you use the full 150 kb file size limit, yours is 70kb. Hope this is elpful. |

| Interesting choice of subject. Looks like the focus is kind of off though. Possibly the camera was too close to subject? Inside the minimum focus distance. Or perhaps camera shake from being hand held and lo light? |

| This is a great idea. It would have been so much better if it was in focus. |

| This photo is really out of focus to me. Also, this probably would have worked better in a monotone image. |
