Interesting choice of backlighting, I think it works here. Good DOF, would've liked to see brighter catchlight in the eyes.

like the lbacklit subject here, but decent light on the subject itself... the expression in his eyes do add a lot to the picture. You could have improve it further if the dart was aiming more in front than facing down IMO

nicely centred, and i like the starkness. it makes his eyes and the dart very noticeable focal points

Wow if it is not the blast from the past. Been looking for you JD. It is me TurboTech. I guess I am the one missing from the site now that I think about it.
I left a message in one of your Pbase Folders. We just had a baby.

Cool picture. Expression of the dude is very fitting. I'd like this more if the background weren't so burnt out.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Not sure I like the crop. Seems like you could have included more at the top but also more at the bottom and left more black all around as open space even on the left where it seems like it just faded to black.

Your subject is definately interesting -- seems like an old clay model of some sort. The neck is definately broken, but I can't say I feel most viewers would notice that if the title didn't point it out.

There's a lot of potential I think with this subject, but nothing just stands out, grabs me, or pulls me into the image. Instead, my eyes just seem to wander all around. Just my humble opinion :-D
