Not a Bright Idea

Comment by KevinRiggs:
Hmmm. The background and negative space concept works well with the human subject's head as there is enough contrast to bring out the features of the head. Adding the lightbulb detracts from this on one level as the bulb doesn't even have a continuous line defining its surface, causing it to blend with the negative space and leaving this viewer to wonder if any light is supposed to be coming from it (like a dimwitted idea - is this a barely lit bulb?). The noise to the right of each subject is a little distracting and draws from the negative space as well. I do think this is a bright idea for this contest but I think a hooded light source might have made for better results on the negative space. - 5

I love the drawing manniquins and I am very partial to them when I see them. This one is no exception to that. I love the whole concept here and think it meets the challenge nicely. It is a bit to soft but still has a very good composition going for it.

Keep up good efforts and I look forward to seeing more of your wooden pal in the future.

I like the idea here, but it's so bright the shape of the bulb is almost lost. Is that an accident, or was there a bit of string or the like that had to be washed out also? It's very distracting and I think the picture would be much stronger if the bulb were slightly more defined.

How about just one stone for this shot/

Comment by PaulMdx:
Composition: Would have prefered the white stone slightly more to the right. I may have tried crouching down more to fit more stones in the shot horizontally, unless there was stuff in the b/g.
Technical: Nice use of b&w. Good focus.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Nice shadow, but composition lets it down a little.

I like the shot, but feel a shot with the camera a little lower to the gound would made a stronger image

Interesting idea and I am wondering how you got the lightbulb suspended there? Focus is a little soft around your? eyes (which is a key component to get in focus). Whites are a littel too bright as well. BUT, this is still a strong image that I enjoyed.
