a really, really big chair.

Handy having one of those around, eh?

Hello from the Critique Club,

A very creative take on this challenge. This is the first image I've critiqued where the number of 6 votes was higher than the number of 5 votes and the final score was below a 6. I think there are two primary reasons this image didn't score higher. First, the image lacks contrast and looks a little flat. With advanced editing, it would have been relatively easy to process the boys separately from the chair to bring out the best of both. Second, the perspective of this image, in combination with the low contrast, provides very little separation between the boys and the chair, making the image look very two-dimensional. I think you found the perfect prop for this challenge but needed to play around a bit more compositionally to find "the" image.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

Nice capture - I presume you have many more pictures here. I just wish (And this is subjective) that with such a great prop we could have seen more about the scale of things - I don't know what the background is etc and that is why you may have chosen this view but i feel this has not been used to show the scale of it so well.

Nice effect, someday you will have to teach us newbies how to do that.

Your B&W seems a little flat.
