Wish I could see more of his eyes, bring the liqour forward, change dof to reduce the background and watch out for posting license plates on the internet.

Nicely captured. With all the tans and browns you could have run into color issues, but everything works well. Little squint in your subject's eyes.

Careful of crossing over into advertising :) The detail given by the b&w is nice.

Perhaps, less posed and more action. Let's see her instructing.

Demolition Man
by neophyte

Comment:
Hmmm...brand new hard-hat, brand new sledge hammer, brand new clothes, brand new glasses, not a speck of dirt anywhere. This is a great commercial shot, a nice advertisment. As an environmental portrait, I am not convinced this person really does demolition. Coloring is nice. I like the building in the back, but as I said, these components make it a great catalog or commercial shot.

Everything above the neck disappears into the background. The coloring is too harsh my liking. Art speaks differently to different people.

The Face of Experience

This has the beginnings of a wonderful piece of art. This is where my inexpereince with photography is going to show through. I cannot pinpoint exactly where this off. I have no idea as to why this seem just shy of a perfect shot. This tells me that it must be something in technique or processing. As I am not a photographer, I cannot help you with those things. I would suggest sending this to the Critque Club or posting it one of the forum threads for more advice.

I'd be willing to bet that a lot of folks aren't going to like this shot. I however love it. I'm sure you will get omments like "snap-shottish" but I am going to say...yes, there is an element of snap-shot, an element of the candid. But they are all add up to capture someone in their environment. The environment defines the subject and tells us something about her and she is doing what she does within that environment. Well done.

This just doesn't speak to me. No reason, I just find it blah! Such is art.

Carpenter Chris

So is he a carpenter or a model? I just ask because part of this challenge was to capture the person in their environment. Imo, he is not "in his environment." He is inside a construction zone, but he is not immersed in it. No hard hat, short pants are questionable attire for construction zones, he is way to clean...just little details, but they add up.
