Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Shannon,
I first stumbled across your profile a few weeks ago and liked what I saw. Again I like what I see, and personally find the score surprisingly low. This is pretty much the case with lots of your images so I guess I just like your work.
I've spent a bit of time looking at this shot trying to work out why it got so many flat 5's with such beautiful soft orange light. I've come up with two possible ideas. The first is that the image doesn't teally convey 'soft rock', the rocks actually look hard and substantial. The light above them is soft, but I reckon some people figured there is nothing in that. The main subject is the women with the wings - without the title the rock just seems to occupy a lot of pixels with dull colours. This brings me on to the second point - composition. I would have like the 'angel' in the bottom-right corner of the rule of thirds with loads of the glorious sky above her. That would have been a very effective shot (but still wouldn't have conveyed your oxymoron). As Dr Achoo said - it is not the best representation of the concept.
It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.
Cheers
Paul |

| Nice idea. A white dress would be better to match the white angel wings. A tighter crop would reduce the seeming clutter of the smaller rocks in the foreground and would be more effective. |

| I like your composition but I would like to be able to see her a little better. I think the angel wings and the setting combined with your composition make for an interesting shot. |

| good oxymoron, poor representation. The composition isn't bad, although I think I would have gone with more sky and less rock. 4 |

| Great idea! I like your lighting. Perhaps a standing position would be better. |
