You have been reading too much Steven King. I see good technical, sharp focus, good exposure and color, but the composition and subject do nithing for me. maybe if he was reflecting a video game screen or something more interesting than a mass merchandizing store's logo.

like the idea, but the execution could have been more subtle. 'Best buy' is very direct and traight to the point. Why not go into the shop and have the boy (?) look at boy things?

I know that temptation! Visits there for me have resulted in new cameras and empty wallets

This one touched upon a personal note with me. i absolutely hate best buy. lol. I went in there intending to spend like $2000. and they told me that I couldnt make the purchace, but the gentleman that was with me could make it for me. I am 23 years old. If I were like 10 maybe I would understand. ANYWAY... so I just pictured circuit city in there instead and gave you a high rating!! :) You captured this great and the focus is supurb. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Nice subtle connection to the challenge...Gotta love those new toys! Good lighting and it certainly fits the theme albeit it's a very subtle connection and people who don't like shopping for new electronics toys probably won't get it.

Comment by courtenay27:
The photo is pretty good by itself but with the title, the impact of "something new" really hits. I know I have had that feeling many times before at Best Buy. You may have chosen to frame this as you did (not capturing the models entire face) because of possibly losing the detail of the Best Buy sign in the sunglasses and then losing the overall impact but the face being cut off at the lower lip gives the portrait a somewhat awkward look and feel even though my eyes are still drawn to the sunglasses and the BB reflection. Maybe keeping more of the lower face in frame would have helped that. Over all, though, It's a really good job.
Score: 6
