The detail is unbelievable! I think I can see his eye. Very well exposed, I don't care much for the dark corner but everything else is really nice.

Nice exposer, the detail in the wall near the door is very good. It almost looks like a tree growing behind the railing on the right.

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
This picture is true to the challenge - an environment and the actual artist ... real stuff really.

Composition:
Ok I go with kiwipix on this .. (he knows more than me and I live with him so I listen) .. I don't mind that the background is dark .. when I used to work on stuff I only ever focused on my work .. so this is what he seems to do here in this picture. a slightly shallower DOF may have worked so that the background distracts less though. Although I recropped based on the front of the pic and the guy with slight alteration of lighting and it also worked.


Subject:
Meets the challenge well.

Technical (Colour and light):
I am not sure if you used flash or lighting .. either way it is a little harsh on the guy. its advanced editing so trying to eliminate this would have been a fun thing to do.

To grow its vote?:
more focus of the bloke and less of trying to darken the environment .. different croppings ... lots of ways .. but I was disappointed as you would have been at how this did .. I thought it was great for the challenge.

Summary:
Good work keep it up ... you have a agreat eye.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari
