All in the eyesby
ConcreteDonkeyComment by Philos: Critique Club Comment:
Hi there,
I just read the comments on your photo and I guess you got slammed by the “Don’t like selective desaturation” people.
What a sweet kid, I really like the angle you choose for this portrait, and as far as I can tell the rest of the PP is also fine.
The photo has good sharpness and great focus on the eyes.
There’s not realy that mutch to say about this photo that could improve it.
The lighting is good, no distracting shadows, the background isn’t distracting.
I guess that most people would have liked this in full color, selective desaturation can be a great thing to shift attention to a specific part of your photo, but as far as I can tell, the eyes are already the first thing you look at. As srbrubaker commented, they overbalance the photo.
I can only say that I like it, and yes, I guess I would also want to see it in full color, but the way it is now is also good.
Keep up the good work.
Peter
