Hey there from the Critique Club

Great composition and depth of field use. Looking at your portfolio, you really have a knack for interesting subjects and nice composition. I like the way the balls and cue stick serve to draw the viewer up and into the eyes of the player. Nice choice of wardrobe colors to contrast nicely with the table felt. The right eye seems a bit too enhanced considering the overall shadow on that side of the face. Perhaps a small light on the floor to your right would have helped eliminate this harsh shadow a bit. I wouldn't have added a lot of light because of the mood that the lighting produces. Just enough to show a little detail would have helped a great deal.

Sweet star-trail shot. As always, the foreground makes or breaks this type of image, and, luckily, your does the former...well. Great work.

I like the editing, the surreal look of the cactus matches the stunning star backdrop.

A very intesting photo, but it seems a little too bright for a "nightlife" photo IMO.

Looks like star tracks. But exposure should be very long then...

Spectacular and dramatic capture to make a silhoutte sing out in all its glory to accent the saying. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

Nice shot. Good color for such a long exposure. I like the star trails.
