Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: yospiff hit this one on the head. Your compression makes this one very hard to judge or consider the technicals of the image.
Lighting: It is backlit, but the lighting is way too harsh. The sun really washed out your image and created a very distracting lens flare.
Composition/Content: I like what's there, I just don't think that it fits well into this challenge. I know, the challenge is about lighting. Still, I'd like to see this one in a street challenge with better execution.
My Opinion: I think that the score fits, and I think that there is lots to be learned from this one. You did meet the challenge, but execution would have been much stronger. It seems like more of a snapshot that a well thought out image. I think that this capture scored about where it should have.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Seems a snapshot, I'm afraid. There is some flare in the upper right that you could have cropped out, but the major problem to me is JPEG compression.
Your file size of only 61k indicates a highly compressed image and that is what is robbing a lot of the detail and sharpness from this image. artifacts are especially visible in the pattern of the pavement. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (150k for this one)
I don't know what you use for editing, of course, but I have posted an example and some notes on the compression settings in PaintShop Pro. Other programs should be similar, though not identical:
Hope this is helpful for you. |

| Gets extra marks from me just because the man has got his girlfriend to carry his hockey stick. My wife would never carry my sticks back from a game. Nice idea, slightly overexposed |
