the hand is distracting and looks unbalanced with the cropped picture...

Why would it need to be validated? Bonus points for no annoying reflection on the glasses :) Good shot.

This is a very nice portrait. I think that the angle and framing/cropping are good, and the focus is good as well. The only thing that bothers me a bit are the horizontal lines going through the dark areas on the left of the photo. You did an excellent job photographing glasses without glares or reflections. Very nice. ~Heather~

This image is true to itself and the rules it has established for itself. The tones, lighting and expresson on the face all work well together.

The expression on your face really makes this photo captivating! Looks almost like a smirk, like the viewer is in on some joke with you and everyone else is "on the outside" of it. The glasses/string on wrist tell something about your personality, give this an artsy feel. If the contrast were bumped up slightly, I'd like it even better. But it's great as-is!

Hello DPCer,
Nice B/W shot. Interesting use of the shallow DoF. I like the shadows and highlights. in general a very nice shot.

I don't really find this particularily interesting. I can't even read what it says. Looks like a very shallow DOF on a computer screen, where very little is in focus and you can't even read any of what is in focus.
I might have liked to see at least one recognizable word in this shot. Either that, or at least have the cursor in focus.
I guess the lighting is ok, no bright spots or distracting shadows.
There really isn't a lot to comment on here.
The green lettering fits in with the whole theme of the movie. I supose it fits the challenge in that aspect, but there really just isn't anything to look at.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
