Blind Pose

Hello from the Critique Club!

I'm not much of a fan of high key shots, but this one works well and does not strike me as blown out. The black and white is well done and is complemented by the grain in this pic.

Being shot at 1/5 sec and ISO 800, this must have been done in fairly low light. Good job on your exposure control!

Your use of the blinds as negative space really works well. The grain of the photo looks very natural over what I am assuming are wood blinds. This really helps keep the grain from being overpowering and helps set a solemn mood.

Congrats on your top scoring photo so far!

I think this would be much more dramatic if the background were not so well lit.

The desaturation does not work well for me here.

This could be made better if he turned toward the camera just a little bit more. The facemask covering his eye is very distracting.

Nice colors, but I don't care for the background.

The focus seems a bit soft, and the angle of the shot is not very flattering.
