Nice lighting and not too harsh at all. Somehow some of the toes seem a little squared or they give the impression they are cut off, kind of as if this person has been extracted and placed on a black background. This is a very good depiction of despair, pat yourself on the back :-)

Very cool picture. But it's a underexposed. Use more lighting I think. Excellent composition however. 8.

CRITIQUE CLUB

Lighting: This seems a bit "washed" to me, with most of the light falling on the upper left hand corner. With the light there, it almost seems like there should be a center of focus there too - maybe an individual heart with a cute saying??

Subject: This fits the challenge VERY well. The only downfall to this shot is that it is a photo of something we are all used to seeing on Valentines Day. There may have been a lack of interest during the voting.

Sharpness: A bit too sharp, and the colors are a bit too bright. I think this would have made a great "soft" print.

Overall: I think it's a good shot, and I love how you filled the entire frame. I might go for a more "unique" subject next time and soften your lighting, simply to avoid a snapshot look. Of course, with the time limit, it made it difficult to go "all out"! Take care, and great job!

Yup. I could definitely see this being useful stock photo-wise.

I think this is an absolutely GORGEOUS photograph! One of my FAVORITES. The only thing I would change...moving the light to his clasped hands instead of his feet, since the hands really set the mood for the picture. Still a high score and an awesome photo. Great job!
