captured proper mood; obviously would have liked to see a different setting and more controlled lighting;

Some lighting changes could have been made here, make the backdrop look less like a wrinkled sheet. Good concept though.

Comment by mikhael:
A lot of energy in this shot. It's a dammage that the sheet is so visible.

Comment by unbreakable:
graet idea. love the model, totally dislike the backdrop. If you could have blown out the white so the sheet was not evident. should have been a 7 but 6 for the backdrop.

I love the pose, but I wish there was a little more light on her face. Pull her away from the background and use a shallower depth of field would to turn the background into soft tones (and help hide the wrinkles!).

Sweet sunset, but a stretch that to me does not really suit the spirit of the challenge. And yes, the sun IS a big ball of fire. Well, technically plasma and other nasty stuff.

Sorry, almost finished voting, and a sunset, even though a beautiful photo like this, just doesn't compete with the other fire images. 4

Hi from the CC Club,

Great shot of your boy here, very causal with an air of James Dean about it.

I like that you have done black and white here. First impressions are the fingers on teh right hand side, they look rather large and not connected to anything. Even though I know they are fingers the more I look at them, the odder it becomes. I think a crop on that side may have helped with the fingers and the centered subject.

The background is a little distracting to the shot, maybe just darkening the window sill would have helped nto highlight the background so much.

The face is fairly bright and I like that, but think that maybe a little more contrast in the woodwork to bring out some of the finer details would have made a bigger impact on this.

You are tack sharp and your focus is excellent and you have a gorgeous son!
