Greetings from the Critique Club...
Hi Surfinbird :)
You may not like this critique, but it is one of the best ones you will receive if you take it the proper way. "Self Critique" is a very important concept. When you enter a photo into a challenge here at DPC, it is very useful to YOU and ME if you put your own thoughts about the image in the Photographer's Comments box when you submit. Doing this benefits you in two ways.
1. If you write down your own thoughts about the image, you will know more about what to expect in the voting here. If you become critical of your own image, you will begin to understand why it will or won't do well in a challenge. You should also include why you like the image and how you feel about it when writing this 'self critique'.
2. It gives me (or anyone else who should draw your image for a critique club in-depth critique) some basic information about your goals and ideas with the photo. If I critique your image, the image itself is all I have to go on. I can write about technicals, composition, et al, but I may be writing a bunch of things you already know or realize. I would rather write about your idea or goals, neither of which I have a clue about :)
Try this on your next entry if you check the 'in depth critique' box and see if you get a better result :)

| Nice but a bit bland, could have been better with a shallower DOF or something standing on one of the poles or something. |

| Another cool image that looks like it could have not been a negative. I wasn't quite sure what the title meant though... 9 |

| Good composition, but looks rather like a simple b & w shot rather than a negative. |
