| Can't believe I was inspired by this photo, but never actually commented on it. I love this image. The grain, the tones, the similar poses. Great job! |

Positives:
Framing, image balance and composition are incredibly well done. Technical quality is right on! The use of the background building brickwork for natural framing is a wonderful touch. The juxtaposition of the runner with the sign adds considerable interest and nice balance to this imagery. A thought provoking image well thought out by the photographer. Worthy of a "best of" challenge. Kudos to you!
Technicals:
Composition, framing and balance in this image are its strengths. Nice BW and good choice for this image. Just the right amount of grain for the composition. The crop is EXCEPTIONAL. It is absolutely level and using the buiding brickwork for natural framing is a wonderful added touch. Your attention to detail is to be commended, that is the hallmark of a great photographer.
After post processing a thing that can be done is to apply a quick "Autolevels" adjustment to the image to see if you have not screwed it up. If it does NOT change it normaly means post processing is 'good'. There are exceptions to this. Your image, of course, is rock solid! No surprise.
The challenge:
Scorewise, this image was affected primarily by two things. One, it is submitted to a free study challenge with over 600 hundred images and free study challenges tend to have very high quality images. Two, DPC voters are affected by funk and flash and vote them higher, particularly in a challenge with lots of entries. Yours requires more attention to detail to be appreciated. It did not get it.
I see there is a statistical overabundance of 2s given. This probably comes from voters who noticed the motion blur of the runner, assumed it meant the image was out of focus, and did not look beyond that.
I would not change a thing. Personally, I'd be proud to have this image in my portfolio. |

| I wonder how many people didn't get this. I'd go with most. |
