Greetings from the critique club :)

Wellcome to DPC for starters. This is a pretty nice beginning and I don´t really understand why it didn´t score better. I mean, the lighting is good and looks very natural so great job there. The DOF and focus are spot on, frankly technically this image is very well done so you obviously have the camera details down. I also like the idea and it´s pretty well executed.

However, I was thinking the same thing as some of your commenters say, that you should have shredded real (or fake) money instead of white paper. It would have been pretty easy to use a photocopier to copy money and even though they would have been b/w then you would just have colored the fake shredded money green in photoshop since this is an advanced editing challenge. It just would have made the photo MUCH stronger. That or use something other than white paper to shred, like something you would usually shred like cheeze or potatoes or stuff like that so it just looked like you were putting dressing on the main food wich was then the bills.

Anyway, great start and I think this was seriously underrated, I personally would never have given a lower rating than 6 so keep at it, you´ll fit in nicely here after the adjustment period :)

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

This does not really speak rhythm to me. I wish I could see all of the gun and not just the stock.

Good composition and well timed to get the fire, the smoke, and the one guy's eyes closed. I like the synchronicity of the shapes of the arms.

Not bad and certainly a creative entry. Wonder if you couldn't have found bolder patterns to present just by finding a different perch to take the shot from. I'm thinking a few seconds earlier the barrels of those guns were lined up in a nice fashion shouting 'photograph us! we're challenge material!' heheh.

The picture would have been more powerful if you'd actually shredded the bills, but I can, of course, see why you didn't!

That's a lot of mullah.
I love the "white" theme. Nice lighting and clever idea.

Hmmm... I think the composition is a little too static. Perhaps stepping over to the right a bit more and lining up their profiles would have given this more of an edge.

Good shot but to get the rhythm feel through I think we needed to see more of the gun barrels
