My best try at shooting and post processing this week. This is my first real try at Processing outside the confines of a tutorial its been a hard coupla days of reading and the light aint visable.

How does this convey in the world of photographic appreciation?

So barbarise, you club wielding ego slayers you.

I like the blurring treatment, well done there...

the power lines and the small moon are good backgroung...

but something about the subject is lacking. I think its because I can't decide if I'd like more or less. As in, first I was thinking, I wish the lower hand wasn't cut off, but then I thought, maybe it should be more cropped to get closer on the face.

It's a nice exposure and you got soft light. I really like the blue in the sky.

The composition doesn't work for me. Why the traffic lights and power/telephone lines? Just to keep the tiny moon in the shot? I don't really know where to look first. My eyes actually go to the traffic lights first, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you want. I think the composition needs to be rethought significantly: what do you want me to look at, and how can you force my eye to see what you want me to see, in the order that you want me to see it?

Also, not sure why she has her hand over her mouth. Am I missing a story you're trying to tell? :dunno

So, nice light and color, but the composition and storytelling aren't working for me.
