Greetings from the Critique Club!

Let me first state that I like this image and gave it a 7 during voting. With a little more processing, it would have been higher. I think the composition works with the subject. The awkward crop through the middle of the face works with the overall feel of the image. I get a sense of frenzy. Now, you have a great base image to work with but I think you stopped short in your processing. To work with the image, a slight amount of USM and a bit more of a curve would really make this image pop. Currently, its a little flat for the subject. For me it just doesn't work. The curve boost would also add saturation to the colors in the image, throwing it even more towards meeting what I think is its goal. (see my 30 second edit here: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=415051)

An image works best when all of its elements reinforce its intended message. Anyway, I really liked this image during the challenge. It was creative, well planned, and well executed. The lighting and composition are great as is the use of the background. I think you only got caught in the 5's because of the lack of strong post processing to reinforce the message of the image.
