a little to shallow depth of field, but great colors!

nice bokeh...I'd have liked the ring to be in better focus, though.

Nice composition. The lighting seems a little flat though.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

This is an easy critique, because there's not much I would change about this photo!

Aesthetics: I think the tones are good, and well chosen. The scene is good, and interesting. Composition is also very good. A couple of things are not as strong as they could be: with the lighting and point of view as is, I found it harder to recognize what he was doing. Also, the bright side lighting source being visible, also distracts from the subject. Cover it with your hand and see how much stronger the subject becomes.

Technical: Sharpness is good, as is most of the lighting. There seem to be a few small hot spots on his face and arm, but they are not significant.

Nice work.

There's just something about this. I can't say exactly what it is, but I really like it. It doesn't seem posed at all.
