Bonjour from the Critique Club
Let me start off with the positives :)
First of all, you got the concept down pat. Great and original idea. You met the challenge perfectly. I personally gave you a six because I was used to seeing plain feet and this even made me laugh because it was a great idea. Awesome kit dude, great costume choice (now I know not to mess with you).
Now the criticism.
First off, I think that the lighting could have been improved. The best light in the photo seems to be about thirty feet behind you. Your whole body, especially your foot (the focal point of the photo) could have been lit up better. So if you are in a situation that is entirely ambient light (I am guessing this was one of those instances) then try to move yourself if possible into the best possible light.
The last thing that I'd like to touch upon relfects what Jason (JPR) commented about on this image. He said that the background was not necessarily appropriate for the mood of the shot. I agree with that but I also do believe part of the reason he even notices that was that the background was a little bit too busy. When I study this image, my eye tends to wander to the grass (which is fine) but then to the trees and the house and my focus is not entirely on the focal point. So what I would suggest is that if you want to include a background subtly then do your best to make it "work" with the concept of your photo. If you cannot find an appropriate background, try finding a make-shift (if you don't already have) studio to work in. Overall as I said, a six from me. An above average score for you.
Keep the originality coming!

| I wasn't real happy with this photo but I was very happy to get the score that I did. My family is getting camera shy around me lately, can't them to pose, and I was out of time, I know it's not a sin to miss a challenge, but Im hooked, If I don't submit, it kills me, thanks again for those that gave me decent scores and for the dude who seems to vote 1 on all my shots....this foot is for you. |

| Great image. The only thing I think taking away from it is the background. I would have tried to get a background that went more with the martial arts theme. I think a plain background or even a blurred one would have worked better than the suburban house. 9 |
