Hey there from the Critique Club

First of all, congrats on your second highest scoring entry to date. Strong work!

Camera Work/Technical: Very nice job with your minimalism approach. Your focus on the human skull is very crisp and an obvious strength of this image.

Lighting: Your lighting on the skull is also very nice. You did a terrific job with you shadows and highlights here, and I cannot see anyway that I could offer to improve you lighting.

Composition/Content: I think that the text and layout could have benefited from a little more creativity. While it fits nicely into the minimalistic approach, I think a bit better layout would have grown your score.

My Opinion: Overall I like it and I think it earned a strong score, just as it deserved. Nice work, and congrats again on getting a new image up there on your profile page.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

ah, Yorick! I knew him, Horatio. He was a man of infinite jest. I'll never forget the time he drank from my glass while I wasn't looking. Trouble was I was a painter and the glass was full of turpentine. Oh, but the painting I made of his death! Ecstatic! It was so beautiful I wept turpentine tears... and ruined it. So I had to use a photo of his skull for my album cover. Luckily he had excellent teeth.
