GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Well, it shows that you know your way around a camera. The lighting and setup is delightful on this one, composition is just fine, exposure and placement in the frame works nicely.

So why did it end up at exactly at the 50% mark? Could it be that since the theme was Bubbles, people expected to see bubbles front and center?
Hmmm, maybe the name of the 'model' is Bubbles; who knows, could be.
:-))

I think you like to play around the edges of Challenge themes, and most of the time it works. This time? Well...maybe, maybe not.

Oh, please continue to have fun with your well-planned and executed entries.

I look forward to seeing more of them.

Alice

Liquid low key exposure makes this darkly beautiful. Understated but quite effective and beautiful as well.

Great street portrait. You've certainly developed "your style" with the people you've shot on Nicollet Mall.

This is a great, emotive portrait. Really captures his story in his eyes. The low angle is perfect, seeing the street from Johns point of view and not being patronising at all. Being slightly lower than Johns eyelevel also brings out Johns dignity. In my top few of the challenge. 9.
