I think cropping just below her left hand and just to the left of her right elbow would make it stronger.

I like the overall look. What kind of processing did you do?

Well done showing texture in the skin and jacket with the light angle. What modifier if any was used for the lights?

A Sense of History

Some interesting objects, and I the mood from the lighting reminds me of a bare bulb in a distraction-free room, maybe a prison cell where a prisoner would be writing his memoirs or something.

A beautiful variety of colors and well composed too. The softly blurred yellow ones make it.

I think what he meant was that this photo offers only face value. Nothing open to interpretation or imagination.

It's a genre not everyone likes, which would account for some of the lower votes I guess. Still, 6 and higher would mean those voters thought it above average.

I didn't vote this one but I would have given it a 6 for the pose, light and fairly clean background. The focus does look like it was pretty far behind the buck, though. Had it been on the head, I would say at least a 7.

A very interesting shape and texture study. I disagree with the need for wider DOF, I think this amount is optimal.

It's a good portrait of these two, but I don't get a "play" vibe from it at all.
