Shutter and Brick

Comment by Tlemetry:
I love what you were going for here. Old bricks have great texture! I also love the swirl of the shutter holder. The wad of mortar is a major distraction to the image. Also the bricks appear orange here not the red that one would expect. I imagine you are getting a lot of comments to that effect.
This has great potential.

shutter isn't a color, and i know bricks should be red, but maybe raise the contrast so they are, these look a little orange

Comment by shutterpuppy:
cool idea; wish the light was just a little higher to show more of the face and a little less harsh on the top edge of the guitar

Comment by spencerwood:
Could have done with the hot spot of the light either on the body of the guitar or on the face. Its currently lighting up somewhere inbetween which is not the point of interest. Nice tones though

I'd like to see the whole of the left hand.

only one comment to the well executed low key pic: don't ket the kid pick what they want to wear during shooting. the little figure on the t-shirt takes away from the pic. It is a focal point for the viewer.

Comment by DrAchoo:
The good:
1) The composition uses the rule of thirds nicely.
2) The lighting does create texture and interesting shadow

To be worked on:
1) The subject doesn't capture us at all. We look at it a second and then move on. You don't even have to add a new subject, but just more interest. An example would be the same shot, but you were lucky and had a creeping ivy vine crawling up the wall. It would give us more to digest.
2) While the lighting does create texture, it's a bit dark as well. More light and then more contrast would be beneficial.
