Love the bueaty of your clowns eyes, would loved a differnt shot without the other heads in the shot, the glare off the hair hurts the whole shot.

Nice crop and composition, just wish it was a tad crisper, also maybe lighten the highlights a bit for more contrast.

Looks like the focus is on the gunk covering the forehead here. Interesting looking statue. Might have tried to get the eyes looking very crisp to give the viewers eye something to hone in on. Possibly a little stronger contrast between tones would remedy the overall flatness of the image and particularly the statue itself. good luck.

I can see plenty of things out of focus but I can't see how it makes it a better photo - you still need to have a strong subject and observe basic rules about what makes a good photo. The bagpiper would be a much better photo if he was facing you - (or alternatively if you moved a bit to the left) - and found a much less distracting background.

wonderful!! the background does enhance the subject here.. all I wonder is the extent to which the background should be out of focus. I did a similar concept but now I am not sure...

For those that asked about the name:

Jack is 25% Jack Russell Terrier and 75% Shih Tzu. By combining the two I got Jack Schitt. One of the smartest dogs I've ever had.
