I like the setup of this shot. The colors work well. The only problem I have is thatyou cut off the end of the guitar.

Greetings from the Critique Club -

Hello again. And congrats on another 6+ score. Well done!

Good image here. Very good focus on Sammy and the DOF works well. You laid out the jars just fine. Maybe taken a bit higher to allow Sammys full face to show, but this pose will do.

I think the one thing that would have allowed your image to score even higher would to have been to make the hue shift only on Sammy and not on the whole image. A complimenting color (not sure what compliments puke yellow ;)) could have made this stand out abit better. The backgournd color is just too similar to his skin tones. A bright and more vivid color I think would have allowed your image to pop even more and really isolate Sammy well.

But thats about it. You took a nice shot, edieted it well overall and the voters rewarded you witha 6+ score. Keep that up and you will see your top rated images all change in the very near future. Well done and good luck in future entries!

Tone fits perfectly. Nice comp and I really like the way the depth of field leads me to the subject.

Nice use of DOF, and selective colouring is done well.

It might have been a little better if you had selected the boy and made only him green instead of the whole photo. Or even selected the background and altered its color to not have the green cast. It would have made the boy "pop" just a little better. Still great execution of the idea and fits the challenge well. I like the way the jars are arranged so that you see all six jars.

Greetings from the Critique Club -

First congrats on your first 6+ score and a new personal best! Thats always exciting. And a 6+ score in a FS to boot is really good. The FS's tend to be a bit tougher to get the higher scores as voters tend to be a bit more finicky.

You have a very nice image here. The lighting is excellent. The color tones are warm and appealing and your overall composition is really laid out well. This is just an in general pleasing image - and now looking at your comments (and so many in challenge - well done) you hit a good chord with all of them. I placed a a bit higher in the challenge and didnt come close to that many comments during voting. Really well done. Congrats.

And I can also say that I dont really have alot to offer to make this better. You have a complete image here. Colors, detail, lighting, model and pose. Your editing is clean and well executed. Not much else to add here. While maybe not an image with serious WOW power to get you a higher score, you certainly have an image that is strong and is appealing to a large group here at DPC. 22 comments and 4 faves is excellent. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more images from you!
