Comment by PHOTOKID:
I love the detail and sharpness in this image, the sky is what really caught my eye in the thumbnail. it is vey contrasty against the whites of the seagull it just makes the seagull pop. I really like the framing /composition on this one also. The wing on the right side that is stretched out really gives the photo depth.

You *MUST* put this in the Blur gallery! It's incredible. How did you even do this??

Don't tell him about Han and Leah, he might leave early.

Love the concept, very nice "dreamy" image... Not a fan of misspelled title.

Comment by Jedusi:
Now this has the added tension and movement that was lacking from the previous one.

The chin strap is out of sight, he's moving and looking the part, much more satisfying all round.

Good shot.

Comment by Jedusi:
If that's all make up it looks very good. In terms of the picture overall, I like the idea, but the whole image comes over as just a little too dark on my screen.

It might have been interesting to try and get him to do something with his hands - hold a trophy, or just have his gloves up in a defensive posture - to try and build more of a story around the image. At the moment he is just standing, but I think (for me at least) when people think of a Boxer, they think of movement, of purpose, of winners and losers (perhaps), and your lad doesn't visually seem to quite fit into any of these categories.

Is he battered because he lost ? or are they scars picked up on his way to victory ?

The only other small issue is that with the chin strap blending into the background it effectively seperates his head from his body :- )

All that said, he looks the part, the lightings good, and the make-ups great.

This is probably my favourite of these three. I like the action and lines. They are all good though. I bet he had fun making these shots with you.

Lighting looks good, but is feeling a tad over exposed to me.
