From Critique Club.

Red, yellow and black - very chineese ;-))

The monkeys are not very sharp and I see some color patching on my monitor.

Just as an idea for exersise: retry the shot on the totally black background, so that there is no red color casting on the edges but use the additional red light to pour it a little over top. Then replace background to red in Photoshop. I think the composition will look more distinct.

Makes for a cool graphic - may be a tad oversaturated?

The oversaturation and uneven spacing detract from the shot for me.

Cute idea but with the bottom monkey being slightly off, it disrupts the symmetry. The lighting is also a little harsh for my taste. I wonder if it would have worked out a little better had you only used one monkey and utilized the rule of thirds in some way. Anyway, I can't give you a score so take the comments for what they're worth. ;-)

Creative idea, but a bit too hot for me.

Very original and good use of colour but looks like it has been processes too much and only three colors left.

cool arrangement, but a little oversaturated i think. kind of hard to look at. and while the arrangement is cool, you left a big gap between to of the monkeys at the bottom, which throws it all off...

Clever use of color and shape, not to mention concept. Nice job.

cute idea, but the monkeys seem a bit overexposed to me.
