Greetings from the Critique Club!
Overall, the shot looks like something is about to happen - which it is, so there is an air of expectancy. Love details like the crispness of the netting to the right, the banners and the big lightbox/scorethingy. But there is a sense of emptiness, as the bleachers are unoccupied and the ice unmarred by skate blades. Everything looks to be nicely in focus, the stage is set. Now, where are the players?
I think that's why you ended up where you did in the final standings. Free Studies are hard enough as it is, and here there seems to be a lack of a definite focal point. My eye roams from scoreboard across the bleachers to the netting, down to the ice, and back again. There is no place to rest, as it where, and enjoy the shot.
So, by no means a poor shot in terms of execution. Just work a little more on the finer details in terms of concept, and above all, have fun and keep shooting.
Feel free to pm me with any questions,
