Greetings from the Critique Club
Congratulations on a new personal best! This is a great action shot and I'm surprised it didn't break the 6.0 barrier. The composition is really nice and the colors are wonderful. I love the texture in the snow and the sharpness is great.
There were a couple of things that gave voters "easy outs" for voting low..I think for some reason voters look for those things and vote down even if they don't impact the photo. The first 1 is the blown sky left of the barrel. Vlado mentioned that it is a distraction and I think a lot of other people probably voted down for the same reason. To me the dark barrel steels more of the attention from the jumper (thus could be considered a distraction) than the sky. Because of the tonal value and warm color of the barrel it becomes the subject.
One thing that could have made this more dramatic is a lower viewpoint. Overall I like this composition and the processing and congrats again on the great score and new personal best. |
