You are a victim of the Critique Club.
I'm not familiar with this movie, and from your description it looks like you're not either. I have a feeling that is why it didn't do as well, if people don't know the movie then they don't really know how good of a scene your shot is.
Pros
- I really like the composition here. You did a good job of not chopping your legs off in weirds places from your crop. Cropping on joints is usually a bad idea, so your mid leg crop is perfect. I also like how your hunched over back leading up to your head leads us right to the woman.
- I really like the tone that your conversion sets up. I agree with your comments that the green tint to the b&w really gives that old movie scary scene feel.
Cons
- I really wish there was more definition in the shot. I can't make out your face at all, it almost looks like your hat is just floating in the air. Also the woman looks a little weird with her other hand missing, maybe this is on purpose. I read from your comments that you cloned it out because it was holding her wrist, why was it holding her wrist? Try taking this so her other hand is somewhere else and we can see it in the picture. I'm not sure how you would get around having detail in your face, the first thing that comes to mind is to get rid of the hat, but I think the hat is a nice element to the shot.
- That darker plant, and its shadow in the lower left is somewhat distracting, my eyes move to that spot almost every time I look at this shot. I keep trying to figure out what it is. Try a different angle, or just tear it out, if it isn't too hard, so it isn't in the shot at all.
Overall I think this is a nice shot, and I think it scored worse than it would have mostly because people probably don't know anything about the movie. |

| This is really great - especially because it really looks like a still from an old movie. Really like the processing. |

| Gotta love the classics. For this I think the tone works nicely, however I would have liked a bit more on her makeup. A bit stronger on the makeup I believe would really have created a strong image. |
