| This shot is great. I love the angle and the composition is fantastic. I can't believe this didn't score much higher in this challenge. |

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club for the second time this week lol.
First Impression: I love the jaunty angle, it frames the subject nicely but the sky is a bit blah. My first vote was a 6 and was bumped to a 7 on the second pass.
Composition: Excellent. The tilted aspect isn't to everybodies taste especially when there is no reason for it but it works well for me here and lines everything up nicely in the frame
Tecnical: Not 1005 sure about the colour/focus on the tree and the main subject is really just a black blob however, this is the street photography challenge so I'm not looking for studio lighting and whilst I'd like the colour to pop a little more I think its a great candid.
Artistic: Some people think using a jaunty angly on their shot makes it artistic but thats not true, there has to be a good reason for tilting the camera. For me the tilt here seems natural and everything fits nicely into the frame so yes, I think this is very artistic.
Overall thoughts: The zebra crossing, main tree, church and line down the road all work together and if it were shot at a different angle I think much of the impact would be lost. Choosing your moment to capture this image as the main subject crossed the zebra crossing is just inspired and I must say I prefer this to my last critique of your work - and that was a ribbon winner! |

| Congrats for doing much better than you guessed! It is a very appealing street shot, and the angle works very well. I'm always impressed when someone can angle something successfully--I'm still trying to figure it out! |

| Were you only wearing one shoe when you took this? Very crooked. Doesnt really add much to the image. |

| Not a big fan of tilted shots but I do think it adds to this shot. Well done! |
