Time's Up

Greets from the Critique Club!

Initial Impression:
Interesting idea, too much going on.

Challenge:
I really like the idea you had here, it's a very different interpretation of time than one would think of but still very reconizable. Good Job!

Compostion:
This is where you would lose the most points from me, I feel it's too jumbled and there's not enough focus on the action. Cropping either right below the cafe windows or right below the "Cafe Open" sign would have made this a better shot, in my opinion. It would allow the viewer to really get a feel for the situation without any of the other distractions.

Technical:
Good. Lighting is good, focus is good. Nothing really to fault in this area.

Overall:
Good action shot that meets the challenge creatively. A tighter crop would create more balance and a more focused composition.

Good Job and keep up the improvement!

nice shot, to be able to do this took some time and patience, for that alone I gave you a five hope you don't mind.

Took me a moment, but I got it! It's just that I rarely find mine like in my house (usually empty). Nice idea, but lacks color and composition (in my amateur opinion).
