Greetings from the Critique Club
I approach this critique with some trepidation. I respect you and all that you do at DPC. You've entered a hundred challenges a year for the last four years. What can I possibly tell you that you don't already know?
I didn't vote on this challenge, but my first reaction on seeing your photo was that it was in the wrong challenge. The tree was clearly made by nature, this is in the made by man challenge, therefore wrong challenge. I suspect the DNMC police voters did just as I did and as a result it didn't earn a very good average score.
As I looked more deeply, the texture of the wall grabbed my attention, and I said to myself, "well, that was made by man. So maybe it fits the challenge okay." And my vote would have gone up a couple of points. I fear few voters stayed long enough for the epiphany.
Back to the photo, I find the textures interesting and worth lingering over. The broken line in the wall is interesting. The strong horizontal crossing the strong vertical is interesting. You wanted to clone the twig, but if it were me, I'd leave it. It breaks the perfection of the snow and makes the photo more real somehow. The texture on the tree is different and complimentary with the texture on the wall. In some ways, the tree's texture is more perfect than the wall's. A commentary on the perfection of the works of man, perhaps?
It's a subtle image, that takes some teasing out to fully appreciate. But then, you've got a reputation for that and your reputation is untarnished.
Best of luck in the upcoming challenges. And thanks for all you do here! |

| A very nice piece of work (one of my 8s), which will no doubt be well received in the forum after-party. |

| This kind of falls flat for me. I would like to see more detail in the wall. |

| I like the lighting and framing on this. Perfectly exposed IMO. |
