The backround shouldve been ironed, and i think that a high key backround wouldve been better also because of the contrast between it and the frame.

HEE HEE - love the idea of this. The composition is good. Now, I think I'd have him take off the plaid shirt and ring. Both are distracting and don't add to the shot. The background color is kind of iffy for me too. If you did it in black and white, it might neutralize that and give it a bit more punch. His expression is priceless. ;~D

He seems thrilled to be in the picture - if there were numbers on the frame, I'd imagine it was a mugshot :-)

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: The gaussian blur makes it a it difficult to tell where your focus is. Even beyond the GB, I can still see some crisp focus on the nails and the rings. I believe I would have opened up the aperture a bit to add some blur to the background. This would have helped isolate the subject off the background a bit better.

Lighting: Your lighting is very nice and very even. The subject is lit very nicely, and the darker background helps isolate your subject.

Composition/Content: I like your choice for a centered composition here. I think an even tighter crop would have made it even better.

My Opinion: Nice job meeting the challenge. With a little less blur on the foreground and a little more on the background, this one would have pulled an even better score.
