The technicals: the focus is soft. That's my first impression. I do like the sillouette. I much prefer strong sillouette to a little detail. The red works as a hyper-reality shot.

The feel: composition is a bit off. I'm not sure about the bushes on the left. The tree on the right isn't bad, but I may have cropped that as well. The car doesn't serve much purpose and contributes to a "snapshot" feel.

The game: DPC loves sharp. This feels soft.

I was out trying to get some good shots with my red filter that I was going to convert to black and white later on. When I saw this on my screen I thought it looked great as is. If I get a chance I'll link to the full size version which I think does this more justice.

EXIF Info in the information above. You'll note that I went -3 on the exposure compensation. It seems to help when I am using my red filter otherwise it seems to over expose a lot.

I like the tones but wish it were a bit sharper.

Maybe me, but it seems a bit tilted? Nice colors and goos silohuettes created.

A little too dark for my taste, but stunning none the less.
