Hello, and greetings from the Critique Club. What follows is my best attempt to Critique this photo from a DPC voter's point of view. I'll do my best, but please excuse any comments that may be unintentionally rude or insulting.
Initial Thoughts
Wonderful look, really spot on.
Composition/Content
Quite a nice composition using rule of thirds, and a very good looking young man fills the photo out nicely. He's got an intense, questing look that really grabs the viewer
Background
Perhaps a little plain, but the vignetting helps frame the model. Voters might have hit you a bit for that though
Camera Work/Technical
Great control of the camera. Good focus, nice lighting (a touch hot on the cheekbones), settings all seem really nicely done.
Digital Processing
You didn't provide much information here, but everything looks good. You've nailed contrast and color very will. Although there's a hint of over-yellowing in the skin tones
Fits the Challenge
Easiest one I have to comment on. To a tee.
My Opinion of a the Photo
A really nice portrait that you should be proud of. I love the look in the young man's eyes. They show a confidence and a feeling that he's ready to take on the world. Good show. |

| VERY underrated in my opinion. This is a wonderful capture with character - those eyes just reach out and grab you and you get a real sense of the young man here. Great job. |

| Really well done. Not quite understanding the consensus of the DPCers these days. Oh well..... It was deserving of much higher in my opinion. |

| nice lighting and skin tone not as striking as some of the images like it in this same challenge, a different pose than the norm. "stock" ish one might have been a good idea. |

| Great capture especially the eyes. The off-centered composition also works. The only thing I don't like is the shadow in the right corner. Anyway, just my thoughts. Good luck! |
