Frayed

from the critique club:

What went wrong here? It happens to all of us. Here you have a good amount of diagonal lines and a ball well placed. You accomplished the intent of "frayed", but the image fails to pull the eye. It is all in the choice of lighting.

By looking at your port I note that you are very competent in hamdling light. Your TP is a winner, right into my favs.

This image is a nice composition but I think you should have addressed the lighting with one of your unique ideas. This would certainly benefit with the use of backlight, however, I leave that up to you.

It is very simple: you had a very good idea and you made a good composition...you simply did not spend enough time with final outcome.

TP is your bench mark. Always try to top your best next time around.

Ah, yes, almost like praying feet...kidding. The best black and white entry in this challeange. An image with good contrast and rich tones and well focused. Bumping from 5 to 8 and 8 is about my highest.

Very cool. very relaxed and that frinks just adds interest. Ah, but to get to it is a major drag. The thought of bringing down my feet to get it, snaps me out of the revery. Bumping from 5 to 7

Very good angle and great simplicity of background makes this b/w a wholesome entry to this challenge. It has that lazy feel. Bumping from 5 to 7

One light source are indeed very impressive studies. However, it is important to control the shadows. Your texture and lighting here are excellent. The only thing I would have done different is to have separeted the right foot enough to clear the stark shadow it leaves on the left. Bumping image from 5 to 6 on visual presentation.

Rich, warm and so subtle. The colors and tones just carry the imagination away. A most impressive port with great artistic flare and technique.
