I should own up and say I was one of the people who gave a high score for this - 8, in fact. Now I'm just wondering if that's a real tattoo or a fake one?

Too much smoothing going on here and there but I like the basic (when I think away the smoothing) photograph.

Overall pretty but the light looks artificial, like it's staged and she's under a spotlight or something. So the notion of "home" just doesn't cut it.

Comment by MacDonald:
nicely photographed - might be more visually effective if the background was more of a contrast to the heart.

Shadows of Garage Grunge

Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition:
Overall pretty good...only criticism I have is that the angle of the guitar keeps leading my eye out of the shot. Nice position of the amp and main shadow so that works well.

Camera Work:
Exposure looks good. Lighting is uneven on the background (difficult, but in this case I think distractingly so as I keep getting drawn to the bright region at your back). Focus is on and impressive for a self-portrait.

Post-processing:
I like the sepia tone of the shot as I feel it adds some grunge that with color or pure B&W might not have been there. I actually think you could have successfully added some grain to this shot to make it feel a little grungier as well.

Overall I like the concept and the picture is pretty good. It lacks punch though as nothing is jumping out and making me stare for a long time. Main distractions that would help with making it better for me would be getting rid of the hot spot on the background and repositioning so the neck doesn't lead me out. Otherwise, nice job.
