negative pi ring

Interesting effect. I'd like to see more texture and contrast in the hand. Perhaps the original shot did not have interesting lighting, and it still shows here.

The DOF and the low angle make it hard to see what this actually is. Be careful of your backgrouns - this background is not relevant to the shot, and is distracting. Experiment more with different lighting. Lamps are great because you can move them around and easily experiment with different lighting for a small scene.

I love his expression. That's how I feel sometimes when I'm working on something tricky.

The lighting is not idea, but it's hard to fix something like this, unless you have a big flash you can send up there. It's a little hard to work out - is that white stripe a car?

I don't like the border on this - i think it would be better without. It looks like there is white balance problems in the background, as the green leaves look a little blue and cold.

Nice idea, but the colour of the wood really doesn't work for me.

A bit more saturation and some sharpening would really bring this image up. It would also help if he was looking intently at the camera, radiating power and a stronger connection with the viewer. I like the toussled hair!

Monte Carlo Approximation of Pi

Comment:
Well, so far, Montecarlo says Pi = 4, cause there ain't no spots on the tile. Apart from that, this is a good image. Nice lighting. The biggest technical problem is colour bleeding, possibly from using chroma noise reduction? An off-board flash should get this effect without having to push the ISO too high, and a lower ISO won't need so much NR. Focus is a little soft, probably from NR again. Highlight on front of tile is also distracting. Despite all this, it's a nice image, and I'm scoring it well. :)

I think I can see a mistake! Nice lighting, although it would look even better with more contrast.

I really like the 'drawing' effect - even the pencil looks drawn. The lighting is a little flat on the paper, and that contrasts with the 'snapshot' lighting on the watch, but the overall result is nice.
