There is a sense of mystery to this, I cropped the original to give it better mood. This was taken at a September 11th memorial.

No advanced edit post processing done to this besides the crop and some darkened shadows.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Interesting image, I could imagine seeing it as a book jacket for a murder mystery book.

I like how even though it's a colour image, it looks like a black and white. The composition is good, I am a fan of negative space, although I perhaps would have liked the lone figure to be a bit further to the right, but that's a miniscule nit pick and simply my personal preference. I like the silhouetted figure with the strong backlighting, it's very effective. Also the complete darkness adds to the sense of mystery.

Tying to analyse why this did not score higher is difficult, I think it's a well composed interesting image, but I suppose it perhaps lacks the WOW factor that is typically associated with DPC free study challenges. I would have expected it to be more like 6.0.

I like the negative space here - it allows for a greater impact overall.
