You always see these sitting up. Lying at an angle is a nice change. I like the lighting on this photo.

Hello from the Critique Club,

This type of image really jumps out at you and was a good selection for the challenge.

I feel a bit confused with this one regarding composition should you crop or shouldn’t you?. I would have preferred to see more of the left side of the broken head and the blue above the head is a little distracting.The head appears to be over sharpened just a little and the lighting is a little harsh but this is exaggerated with the rust colour.

Overall you have image with great colours and a very interesting subject matter but it just fell down a little in the execution (pardon the pun).

Wishing you all the best in your future challenges.

Merry Christmas

A good shot, but it could possibly stand to be a little softer. As it is, the head is very noisy. The head on the right is a distraction - I'd suggest either making more use of it or cropping it out entirely.
