This is exquisite, Dustin! I love the tonal range, the composition, the emotive nature of the shot...wow. Glad to see you posting again, too!!! Congrats and good luck on the juried competition. You should do well, because your work is always top-notch. This one really grabs me. My first reaction is the loneliness of the room, but the open doors and window light show hope that there is something more out there. It's going in my faves right now! :)

David,

I typically enjoy viewing your work, but to be honest, this particular image doesn't do anything for me. It seems to have no real point of emphasis to it. I hope you don't think of me as being rude, but I just want to be honest. The shot appears to be tilted to the right a bit, and the image seems to be cut in two by the line of the truck. I'm not quite sure what the focal point is...should I be looking at the emblem or the light or what? The dark patches in the background on the lower portion of the fence/barrier/whatever it is are distracting as well, pulling the eye further away from the part of the image that is in focus.

I do, however, like the duotone you used, and think it will be quite useful for other images in the future.

Like I said, I hope you don't take this as being rude, because I just want to let you know my thoughts since you asked. :)

What a neat moment to capture! The inkling of a smile makes the shot. He has that shy look to him. You have captured an emotional connection, in this shot particular, with you as the photographer. That's what it's all about. Capturing emotion, mood, and/or feeling. Well done!
