well, i did'nt know i requested a critique but thanks anyways! ;)
yeah the bird boo bothers me, but since this was under basic editing rules i could hardly do anything against it.
actually it's interesting what you mention about the african child portrait. if you look at the ribbon winners in this challenge you will notice they're so different from each other in appearance, post processing and content and i think that's what makes this site and the challenges so interesting. everything's possible. and btw i think "i dreamed of africa" really deserves to be in first spot, like i said it's the most powerful and provoking image i've seen here for a long time. so cudos to the voters who, to my surprise, agreed with me to chose this not-so-dpc-friendly image for the blue!
again thanks for the kind words everyone, i really appriciate it! :) |

*Critique Club*
Hi, my name is Russell and I am doing the critique that you requested!!
First off, let me say, this is REALLY a tough one!! Not only did you ribbon, I thought (personally) that it should have been first place.
What I liked - The idea and title is truly "nailed" (I too, am a big fan of the movie), so the composition is great. Your background is a perfect fit. Overall, it not only matches the challenge but exceeds it (again GREAT call on the movie)
What I didn't like - Now is where the critique gets tough - it is such a great shot, that anything mentioned here are strictly personal thoughts, so please take it for what it is worth.
The lighting above and to the right of the model lightens that section of wall making it a part of her vs a part of the setting.
The bird "pooh" could have been taken out or darkened a bit.
Overall, there is VERY little NOT to like here, the likely reason you came in second instead of first was due to the African child portrait, not overly creative, but very powerful in it's vision - I see alot of ribbons coming your way in the future!!

| One of the most sensual shots I've seen on DPC for a while. The tonal quality is exquisite, thanks to the S3 Pro, and the composition is top notch. Had I voted, I'd given you a 9 or even stretched to where I never go ..... a 10. |

I prefer the 'streetlight' look of the one you entered a lot more than the advanced edited one. She really jumps off the image in it.
Congrats on the ribbon, its well deserving! |

| Wow, that's great! I actually like your basic version better than the advanced. Lovely light on your model; the rest is "context" anyway, and being flat light emphasizes the model. Super! Congratulations! A new fav for me. |

An excellent example of using light to highlight your model, and reducing the depth.

| I was wandering if someone will take a chance with Sin City. Your model is not only beautiful but also brave. I hope it's legal in basic, because I'm rating it high. I like the splash of colour. You captured the mood of the movie perfectly. |
