There is too much dead space at the bottom of the photo.

It's all about taking that nap baby! - to make time pass :)

upper half of the subjects face looks grainy... great idea though! (spent a lot of time this way in college, haha!)

I like this close up. The only thing I would change is I think it would look better if you were looking at the camera. Good shot though.

I like the detail in the chill bumps. I think this would look better if you were to make the right side a little brighter.

I'm guessing that you had the camera stood on top of something for this shot which wasn't quite horizontal?

Hence the slightly crooked verticals. Never the less a good capture of NY city life and environment.

I've been to the US but never to NY, this typifies NY for me.

A good urban shot almost photo journalism. I like this shot and the one of the neo signs because it teaches me about an environment that I would otherwise no less.

What I'm trying to say is I like to learn about other DPC'ers parts of the world.

Nice candid shot, gives enough info of the surroundings and a feeling of being 3am, even if you hadn't told me.

This would be my second favorite. On the minus side the background is a bit cluttered. The cushions and the picture are distracting.

On the plus side an intense look very compeling, yet relaxed. Very atractive.

Again not quite so harsh lighting on your left and a reflector to lighten your right side would have been better IMO.

I don't feel qualified to comment on your portraits as its not an area of photography I've had much experiance of.

But I think this is my favorite out of the collection. What I would say is, the highlights are a little blown and the shadows a little deep. I know the high contrast is part of the image, (that's the way it seems to me anyway), but I think its a bit harsh. I can see from the other shots that like me you don't have any studio lights and therfore rely on the natural light from the window.

You can use a simple reflector, some white card, or tim foil to litten the shadows, its works very well.

I like the pose, very interesting and the catchlights in the eyes are very important.
