Hello from the Critique Club,

Welcome to DPC and I hope you enjoyed entering your first challenge. I remember this image very well from voting on this challenge. My initial reaction was that I thought the subject was a little weak for the challenge. Without the title, it would be very hard to associate this image with geometry. However, I personally did not score you down for that, as it does meet the challenge.

As for the photo itself, the focus on the man's legs looks a little soft to me yet the man has an overall over processed look to him. I suspect that the reason it looks this way is that your image is highly compressed (Images are allowed to be up to 150 kb for DPC challenges and yours is only 22kb). Also, I agree with the comments you received during the challenge that the amount of negative space above the man is a bit excessive. Although the colors of the sky are really nice, they actually compete with your main subject for attention. I look forward to seeing more of your images in future challenges and you will find that you will improve over time. Good luck.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

you really don't need all that sky.

Original idea! IMHO this should be cropped closer. there's too much sky. 8) The main interest is the guy standing on his hands.

Cool...I wonder if this would be even better if the triangle appeared over the horizon, by shooting from a lower angle?

And a few lines too. I like the negative space.

Nice image... a higher angle would have helped so that the feet would not violate the line of the horizon and also there seems to be quite a bit of glare on the head. But, great idea and an interesting image.
