Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Dexter,

This is a superb shot. Regardless of how it has scored; if this is your kid then I think you should take the time to get it printed. Th child itself could probably do with a bit more sharpening (at this size anyway, its probably fine at full size). Otherwise - lovely.

I'm sitting here pondering the combined effect of the great leading line/vanishign point of the bridge rail and the bokeh in the background. My initial impression was that I liked it, but the more I look at it the more inclinded I am to agree with adeldegan that it is distracting. The problem for me is that the rail leads the eye away from your subject and straight into the bokeh.

It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.

Cheers
Paul

Wonderful photo with a title that fits. Very nice control of DOF to keep the bridge lines in the background but minimize their distraction. The dappled lighting (filtered thru trees I'm guessing) keeps this image in control (like a natural PP burn). :) Good luck in the challenge.
