Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Charalampos,
Congratulations on your best score to date. Hope you break that 6 barrier next time.
What really works for me in this shot is the sense of movement and effort conveyed by your model. This sense of emotion is what helps the viewer connect with the image and holds the eye there. I like your general composition and setting.
I need hardly say it, but the sun flare seriously detracts from the over all impact of the shot. This is an area I am struggling with in my own photoggraphy so I can't offer too many guidelines just yet. I have found that centering the light source seems to decrease the effect.
I am reviewing this shot from work so my monitor is not calibrated. I've played around with the brightness and contrast settings to attempt to get your separation of the lower half of the body from the grass. I think you probably lost a few points to voters who just saw the top half of your silhouette. Perhaps a lower POV could have let you show more of your model silhouetted against the sky.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
Cheers
Paul |

color in the sky would have added to the challenge yet, I love artistic shots which reveals color would have taken away from the shot.9 |
