However you are close with concept without question! However these are the things wrong with the photo! 1/ You cropped off the head and finger tips.. PERIOD! Spoiling what could've been a damn fine photo in the use of a "super-wide lens?" The concept is wonderful and had such great potential for a dramatic image due to the use of wide angle glass. 2/ This wasn't an incident that couldn't have been re-shot and absolutely perfect as I assume you were using digital and could've seen how you chopped the extremities? 3/ If I were your photo editor and this image was for a key position on a health page of the magazine I'd fire you for mucking it up like this. The other side is. you are a damn fine photographer as you've shown us on many occasions, so I'm quite surprised you didn't re-shoot it without the chop offs! 4*** Now remember the critiques are not personal! They're to encourage you to do better and or point out the failure of a shot! Or better still, appreciate the accolades when a shot works wonderfully! As this one could've of been! Such potential lost! :-( Certainly as this one could've had such a smashing perfect out come. Sorry mate. Better luck next time! cheers, Dr. ted
