Greetings from the critique club, here is the critique you requested :D
No question it meets the challenge, it´s a photo of you in a self portrait so no comment on that. I did vote in this challenge and gave it a 6, a 6 from me means above average, a good shot but lacks that certain something that makes me want to give it a higher score.
I must admit I don´t get the thinking behind this picture. Why you are ucovering a blanket or whatever on a black and white backround with a flag and what appears to be a wristwatch or a digital video camera is completely lost on me, I do not understand it. If I did, I might have given a higher score but I certainly didn´t deduct points for it since this is an international site and I assume this act means something to you . This might have hurt your score with others though, I am just speculating as a couple of people commented on this and I agree with them.
Technically it´s well done, I don´t like the post processing on your hand though, makes it look rather plasticky and odd, like a prosthetic. Lighting is interesting and the composition/crop works well, only to nitpick I would have preferred if you didn´t cut off your ear like that but that is no issue, just wanted to point that out.
Don´t know really what to suggest to you to improve this score other than maybe trying to put yourself in the voters shoes in whether they might understand the thought process behind the photo. Technically it´s decent and I thought it was underrated, not by much but I would have guessed this to just break a 6 if you had asked me before the challenge.
Kind regards from Iceland, Larus. |

| Great lighting in this shot! The concept is still a bit cryptic to me but I like the way you created a line from eyes to camera. Nice one!! |
