Technically, this is wonderful - the white aren't blooming or over done and the composition is effective. For me though, the black detracts from it's impact - needs something - some detail to truly make it a memorable image.

Hats off to your models here. Good costumes and experssions. I found a little humor here with their actions. It brought a little light into something that can be so dark. I like how you decided to keep the BG black. It keeps your subjects in your face. The only thing I could suggest would be a bit softer light on the front end (hand/arm and coin). All around - well done. 8

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: With the excess lighting, it is really hard to critique the technical aspects of the image. I think that this was probably the main area voters subtracted from you score.

Lighting: It is indeed backlight, but the lighting is a bit too harsh for my taste. I find myself looking away from the subject even when I am trying to provide constructive feedback.

Composition/Content: I am not sure exactly what you were after here, but her expression looks blank, even lost. Her placement in the frame is nice, and the colors you chose for her outfit are equally nice.

My Opinion: While you did a fine job in meeting the challenge, I think the excess amount of lighting hurt your image, thus your score, more than it helped.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
