Greetings from the Critique Club

I'll keep this short and to the point. I'm a little confused that this picture is in this challenge.

Composition - The subject is not grabbing me right away. The sign is a major distraction as it is easily the brightest thing on the page. The challenge is painting with light, which to me would indicate a shutter speed much much slower than 1/30 sec. The light seems to be diffuse and I don't see what exactly was painted with light.

Technical - This picture isn't terribly clear. It isn't lit very well, and it looks grainy probably from the ISO 320. I don't think the technique of the challenge was used at all and if it was, I can't see how.

Overall - Looks to me like your photo was entered in the wrong challenge or you clearly did not understand what the challenge was on this one. I know this sounds like a harsh critique, but quite frankly, I'm a little lost on this one. Sorry this is not helpful at all. I'm not sure what the right thing to say IS. How about Best of luck in future challenges. - Bob

Not much to hold my interest, yellowish background unappealing.

hei from the critique club

the image is very sharp and has a good tonal range with good darks, lights and middle tones. The white is on the verge of dissapearing but is still hanging in there. On the background to the right there are some lines i find distracting. Perhaps if you used a smooth background you could get rid of this. The placement of the eye was well executed, and is in an attractive spot, perhaps this picture suffers from poor lighting.. perhaps that is being a bit hypocritical to what i said before about tones... but there seems to be a main light source from the left which is blowing out the hair on the left, making a glare in the eye, and making akwardly lit subject. Perhaps if you used a difused light source on the other side, or repositioned your light source that would help. The image is almost abstract in nature, which could work effectivly, but something still seems to be missing. I am not sure what. perhaps play with including more of the rabit, or closer or different lighting. hope some of these sudjestions helped...
and remember.. it is only my opinion
