B&W - Day 3

I agree it is a bummer about the cut off wing, but other than that I really dig this. Black and White Photography had an issue out a few months ago centering on photogs in Hungary - some of the most interesting work was purposely out of focus and blurred (yours is not blurred) and I found it both captivating to look at and very inspiring.

Only thing that holds this shot back for me is it could use just a bit of a contrast kick to provide some tonal separation. Other than that, I think this is a real winner.

Very nice composition with plenty of interesting things to let the eye feast on. Perhaps just a tad overexposed? Could be what you were going for, more towards high key. Not my particular cup of tea, but that's not to say it doesn't work here. The photo defintely captures a feeling of childhood curiosity.

The range of tones within the car itself is pretty interesting and the focus f the shot is great. Might be worth revisiting this and going a bit crazy. Shooting from below the car, above the front, right down the side, etc - there's some good stuff in here, but this particular composition might not be making the most of it.

Lots of interesting texture throughout the shot and well focused. It's a mugshot so there's not a lot to comment on, but for what it is I like it. Maybe the shinier spots could have been avoided, but I always run into that when doing self portraits so I'm not one to talk. It's generally why I go low key with the lighting (masks my inability nicely). Good work.

Great subject matter for a black and white shot. Love the background patterns, everything is just sharp enough. Having the guy mostly blacked out is the icing on the cake. Really nice work (no suprise).

Nice range of tones throught the image. Also like the interaction between the sharp/well defined fibers and the softer, more muted fiber in the background. Got a bit of jagged edges showing up on my screen though as if it were just a hair too sharp. USM with fine lines is always a tough one though. Overall, really nice shot.

Good pose, interesting expression. I don't think the grain enhances the photo really, though it does give some life to the shirt. For me, the sharpening really sinks the shot though. Other than that, I like it.
