Done, I like it.

Can we make it into an actual group? With only those that apply?

I think everyone deserves a fair shot, it is easy enough to ban users who are deemed incapable of contributing effectively.

I'll toss something up quickly to get it going.

Rip it apart.
Photo was in all honesty a little snap shotish, after the set up for the section we where shooting didn't look great and the hike wasn't worth it, so saw the puddle said what the hell. Had two takes at it, decided this looked kinda cool, Albeit cliche. But it was different to how I typically shoot, hence why I decided to show.

Sam Splashing some mud

* re-edit
Puddle Slash on Mt. Prevost

With the crit given, I gave it a tweak while still keeping my own opinion.

Highlight bottom right is distracting for me.

seems like a bit to much dead space for my liking. the right side isnt adding much to the photo. may have gone a tad to far with the desaturation, i thought it was selective desat at first

not enough destinction to set the rider out from the puddle so it looks very flat and 2d a snoot on a flash to rim light the back wheel only would have seperated it and thus added to the shot

The purpose of this shot was to "advertise" for superdry for my art, and i need to submit my photo + developments etc to the exam board, but can i get some crit on the photo so i can use that in my evaluation?

The blow sky combined with the cloud in the upper right really bothers me. I would remove that cloud all together.

Square in the corner of sky is very distracting, you can patch it so it all blown out. nothing about the subject holds my attention.


Thanks for the crit boys!

What else do you think i would have to incorporate into the shot for it to appeal to you?

@Jon - Just an idea, I think users should have to give a crit of the stuff they post too (WnW style), just like a brief list of what they like/dislike about their own shot, as I think that would be beneficial and would also make people think before they post.

Well, what is the point of this photo?

It is to advertise the brand super-dry, is there more than one image? What is the 'theme' of the campaign?

I would like to see the model to be more crisp.

Is it to be a billboard ad? Print ad? Will there be text?

If there is going to be text on the left side, then I like how the right is exposed.

If no text, I would like to see better exposure, more detail in the face, with some lighting. Something as simple as a reflector camera right to highlight his face better.
