Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club and congratulations on entering your first challenge here at dpc! (FWIW my first score was a 4.2). In case you were wondering the Critique Club is made up of a group of dpchallenge members but each critique is written by an individual not the group.
First Impression: Not heard of the band before and understand the link between title and image however its not a particularly inspiring image for me.
Composition: Whilst there isn't much to look at here it still appears quite busy, it needs roatating a touch to straighten it and thinking if you had turned to the right some more you would have lost the left building and might have improved the overall feel of the image.
Subject: Whilst you met the challenge there is nothing in the image that I can settle on and keep moving from the blown out sky to the rock at the bottom and distracted by the buildings on both sides.
Technical: OK, the overexposure was important for the challenge, to have scored any better you would have needed to keep colour and detail in the tree and its all a little washed out. As this is the only image you have here its difficult to understand your level of both photography or post processing, either way you will always get great help/tips/critique by posting an image in the individual photograph section of the site.
Final thoughts: Lets call this a benchmark shot for future challenges and since you placed 100th I guess the only way is up. Keep shooting, reading and learning and best of luck for future challenges! |

You should try playing around with curves and levels in your editing program. I would level the picture because it seems tilted. Also, some contrast and a touch of saturation might help compensate for the washed out look.
I love pictures of light shining through trees. Very cool idea :) |

| The overblown sunlight spoils the shot even though you were trying to get the band name across. |

| The photo does express the message but I don't like the photo. |

| Normally I would say this is totally overexposed. For this challenge...I think this is great! Awesome work...10 |
