 I like this shot a lot, and it is a dark, low-key image, so that means that it will score horribly... but hey! :)


*post challenge*
I knew it! :) I would love any comments - please tell me WHY you think it got such a boring, average score.

Thank you so, so, so much, purpleflutterby13. It's thrilling to know that at least SOMEONE likes it! :)

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Why did it score horribly? It's subtle, delicate and artistic, and you've commited the grand DPC sin of soft focus, punishable by a sub-6 score. Those are all reasons. It's not obvious, sharp and jumping out with colour, and I bet you haven't even used Neat Image - how dare you!

As for the actual image itself:
Absolutely beautiful. I love the composition, the darkness all around, the way the chain fades away gradually. The fact that you can't see the girl's face adds to the mystery, and I really like the white trail in the bottom right corner - it looks sort of cloaklike, as if the girl is shrouded by the night. The image looks delicate, emotional and full of secrets.

I could tell you how to get a higher score. But that would be a silly thing to do. I'd rather leave you to capture beauty.

Great Picture! I like how the model is turned away, and like the coloring.
