Thx for the comments i will work on my B&W conversion and exposure. I will also try next time to get the main subject to draw more attention by cropping or different angle.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I was trying to write this critique without reading any of the other comments, but that was quite hard to do. Having read one of the comments, I'm not sure I can really add anything extra that would be useful as I think he has hit the nail on the head. The composition is awkward, there is nothing really to draw the eye in. I think the idea in general was a good one, but it misses somewhere along the way.

But for me, I think the biggest problem lies with the B&W conversion. I think it could do with a boost in exposure and brightness to make it "pop". I know it's quite noisy too, but a light application of some noise reduction software would help this.

Overall, I think it's not a bad image, and probably scored round about where I would have expected it to. Had I voted in this challenge I'm sure I would have given it a 5. Although, if the B&W was a bit more interesting, this may have gone up to a 6.

The middle is murky, and the subject is ill-defined. I can't tell what I am supposed to be looking at, and nothing in the frame really leads me to anything. The flowers are the dominant thing in the frame, but they lack the detail to keep my eye.

The folded hands pose questions, but the young person in the foreground sort of pushes everything else out of the way, without telling me anything.
