hmm. dark and pastel are sorta at odds as far as the color/tone spectrum is concerned. I bet this was fun to do though.

Nice and probably in the winner's circle for the drama but I wouldn't consider this pastel.

Thing from the Addams Family Checks into DPC

It looks underexposed which increased the random color noise. The set needs to be groomed more. It looks cluttered which is ok as a work area but not ok as a location for a pretty picture.

didn't see the movie, not scoring on that. The full frontal on-camera flash is not your friend. Look at his poor eyes. Look at the huge shadow behind him. These are things we try to avoid by not using the on-camera flash. No good ever comes from relying on that as your single light source.
If you have time, go read Cindy's thread on studio lighting.
He's a cute pup.

The Jackal - Is that Richard Gere?

The centered composition makes the picture static. It might have had some drama if it was composed so that only the koisk and person was in the frame. The other people do not add anything to the story. If the person was running and the other people were looking at him in shock, then they would add to the story.

I didn't see the movie so I didn't score you on that part. Picture wise, the dof throws me off. The blurry forground isn't attractive. Maybe if the dof were reversed it would give more dimension to the shot. I like the colors and high contrast processing but the grainyness detracts because it looks like a small crop was done from a larger picture. Not saying it was, just what it looks like to me.

I hope you don't take this down anytime soon. It is beautiful. I can see this hanging some place as a huge print. Billboard size. It's not just a portrait, it's fine art.

commenting, not voting. I love the graphic way this looks. More like a block print. I don't know if it was created in camera or pp. It is nice though.
