Oops! Forgot the empty room... You've framed your subject well. The lighting is a bit harsh (early or late day sun would work better for this).

Guitar Solo

Comment:
The room is nearly a non-subject in this image. The guitar is the first item to grab your attention, then the door across the alley, then the doorway of the room. While it's an interesting image I think it's a bit thin on hitting the correct subject matter for this challenge. You've done a nice job of processing this. Good luck in the challenge. 6

Need more thorns, less flower - or - no bloom at all. ;^)

Very nice DOF choice and good lighting, focus and clarity.

Very creative! The chalkboard might be a second item, chalk a third, and chalkboard eraser ... ;^) Good luck getting past the DNMC crowd.

p.s. - I'm not voting, just cruising thru.

Clean lines. Creative setup. From the thumbnail I thought the clock was put in the top corner of the room. This was easier. ;^)

Hi. Saw your post in the forums so I decided to take a peek. Quite honestly, I've looked at this image for a couple of minutes now and I'm having a tough time finding comments to provide. The image is fine. Nothing really jumping out at me that I really find interesting (subject is kind of plain - nothing personal), and nothing screams out to be fixed. :(

Composition is ok. Exposure and lighting is very good. Ummm....what else? Maybe if you could have gotten below the subject's level - like elevate the subject on a table and shoot upwards a little to add another dimension and interest?

Wish I could say more. Sorry.

You did well on your "do-over"! I like this composition much better and you have a nice tonal range in the B/W pp. Good luck! p.s. - I didn't read the comments on your other image, so I'm not sure what changes you were going after. Another p.s. - I didn't vote on this as I'm not voting on any images in this challenge.

Hey! I missed this one. Very nice capture and creative concept. As a parent I can kind of agree with one of the commenters that it's freaky, although artistic. Without a title this could fit in several categories, with the title you've tied it into this challenge just fine.

Compositionally, I think it's put together very well. The positioning of the boy in the bottom right thirds quad, and the trees forming a natural intersection, work quite well. By dropping the green and yellow you've really reduced how noisy/busy I'm sure this image was in full color.

Someone liked it enough to make it a favorite! ;^)

Appears that the image may have been a little blurry then an attempt at recovering by a noise reduction process (neat image, etc...)?

Interesting subject and the composition is well thought out.

This would have worked better without the reflection. It's distracting and not very flattering to the model. JMO of course. ;^)
