Hey there from the Critique Club

First off, always try to include some info about the shot in the Photographer's Comments section. It really helps out when we know what the photographer was thinking and what equipment/lighting/etc. were used, especially when you request a critique.

Camera Work/Technical: This one is tough to critique fairly because nothing seems to be in focus. If that was the intent of the capture, including that info in the comments section would be helpful for the critique. I will add that I really like the WB that you chose. You captured a photograph that projects a really great mood.

Lighting: I think it's nicely lit, but I would have liked to have seen the exposure just a bit longer. This would have included more detail.

Composition/Content: Very well done. I like the way you composed this one so that the frame is split between the dark and the light.

My Opinion: Great idea, just not fully executed. With better focus and a bit more detail, this one would have scored a great deal higher.

Not enough sharpness. The subject is really hard to see. - 4

A good idea but could have been executed a little better. It seems to soft and maybe a little too dark. Having half of it dark and half light is a good idea though. 6

Something just seems odd about this photo and I can't put my finger on it. It seems like some sort of effect has been applied. To me, it doesn't help.

A little too over-processed for my tastes.

This looks more like a woodcut than a photograph.

Interesting processing technique to create a very interesting image. I love the details in the palm leaves.
