" Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus"by autoolComment by CNovack: Great composition - you really filled the frame with your main subject who is all jolly holiday red and white! The gold-rimmed glasses gently rest below the squinting eyes which I get the impression are from laughing so hard one is close to tears (the reason I get this impression is from the smile/laugh I see on his mouth. |

" Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus"by autoolComment by mk: A very real looking Santa! Well composed. I think I'd prefer it if the background was just burned black - feeling like Santa is sitting in someone's backyard detracts a bit from the overall feeling of the photo. |

" Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus"by autoolComment by macrothing: 7 - Good - I see a lot of potential in this shot. Good (and apt/befitting) character 'capture'. Criticism; think there is more potential in this shot though, especially with the advanced editing - and the 'theme' (Christmas/Santa Claus/etc); perhaps if you had 'softened' the grass/shrubs/whatever in the background, as they bring too much 'reality' into this in my opinion, or possibly just a selective desaturation not sure. The detail is good in 'Santa's' glasses, beard etc, coloring good too, but perhaps some 'softening', or, not sure, but just to try to really emulate that 'spirit'/create the 'illusion' - if that makes sense, sorry, hard to explain/convey, but I tried. A few 'blown' issues in the white, but difficult with this, the beard's whiteness seems fairly good. Perhaps just a little more 'costume' incorporated (depending what you had to work with of course), and possibly even 640 x 640 (again that left background issue would come into play, unless more costume could be had on the right, etc), would likely have helped make this an even better shot in my opinion. |
