Hi from the Critique Club!
This is a really dramatic image. There are great dynamics happening here: My eye was immediately first drawn to the pin at the top, which really stands out against the black. The eye then searches for the middle pin, then finally the bottom one - so the eye is drawn down the image. Once at the bottom, our attention shifts to the tree and then that building, which draws the eye dramatically up the the image, to begin the process over again. This circular movement of the eye mimics the circular movement of juggling, giving it an added dimension.
The symbolism I see in your image is that the building represents big business. On each floor there are many employees 'juggling' with the demands of work and family.
The perspective you chose to shoot from really helps make this image powerful.
The focus and DOF are well executed, capturing both the motion, tree and building.
The man's trousers are perhaps too bright in this negative version, but the rest of the image is so dynamic that it doesn't distract too much. |

| Interesting lines & geometry but the negative inversion doesn't improve this image |

| Is it me, or is there a funny black fingerprintsmudge looking thing right at the top of the building? |

| Great shot. Focus and DOF is dead on. Also the perspective you took on this photo is great. Getting down low really emphasizes the height that the juggler is reaching. 8 |

I really like your photo, great subject, nice colors on the pins, and interesting background. There is a slighly distracting circle in the center of the photo, not quite sure what that is?
Still a great entry. |

| Nice work. If only he'd been wearing different pants so you didn't end up with that bright distraction in the bottom right. Still, nothing you could do about that. |
