Bright Nail Polish!

Composition is good but color seems to be off probably from incandescent lighting you used? Also, I don't care for the shadows cast by the harsh lighting.

Sherry's Eyes
by lagavulin

Comment:
I think the background green compliments Sherry's hair, more than it does her eyes and her expression seems quizzical, as though she's wondering what you're doing. The lighting seems a bit too harsh and the shadow on the wall is deistracting. Also, I don't particulary care for the angle of view, and the slanted sofa in the background. Gives a kind of bizarre appearance to the image. Still, this pic is interesting, possibly because of what I discribed above. I may come back to revise my critique.

Good thinking outside of the box. I'm not crazy about the composition though, although I think the idea is really good. The focal point of image seems to be where the pen tip, glasses and blank paper converge, but there is nothing there to see. Had you been able to have them converge on the boldface type of the word featuer in the dictionary, then I think it would have had more impact. Also, I don't really care for the color rendition and think B&W would have worked better. One more thing is that I would have liked to have seen the focal point rest on one of the intersections of the rule of thirds.

I really like the sepia toning. The plain concrete setting and off center positioning of the subject also help the photo to work for this model.

The Eyes: Je ne sais quoi

Composition is good with the angle of her head and the way the hair sweeps but the color looks off and image is a bit on the soft side. Catchlights are too conspicuous, imo and attract a lot of attention.

Wonderful vibrant and compelling subject ! His smile and energy are infectious and make this image very compelling. You could just feel it looking at him. What happened to your background, though??? I think you used too much flash. Try a slow synch flash to get the background, next time. Well done! 8

Interesting, sassy and attractive subject. I really like the the reds your subect is wearing against the black & white striped background. It appears, though, that the image is underexposed on my monitor, anyway, causing the reds to be subdued. Would like to see more pop in this photo. Also, I find the foliage she's standing on to be unattractive and doesn't fit with the rest of the image. Despite these flaws, thie composition is good and I can see this picture being used in some advertising circular. 8

His Gentle Eyes

Good DOF and I like the capture alot, but think the eyes should be lighther with more detail showing. Background, though blurred, still has some distracting hot spots that pull your attention away from your subject.

Gorgeous subject and priceless gaze with beautiful color but I think the eyes should be lighter. Also, it looks as though you may have used a noise reduction program as there is very little detail in the skin. Still scoring this highly. Very well done, despite the minor flaws. 9
