sorry...colors are dull, there is red-eye, and the top of the hair being chopped off is distracting.

That's one big...

white balance is off and the face and hand is a bit over-exposed. Good expression on the face

Hi Ken -

Positives:
Good take on the challenge. I also like the angle of your shot and the way you filled the frame.

Possible Improvements:
I really think the B&W takes away from the impact of this shot. Your lighting is also a bit harsh. There are a few white spots that are blown out and the shadows in the bottles are distractive. I think a diffuser of some sort, and lighting from a higher angle would have helped.

I hope you found this critique useful. I look forward to seeing your future entries.

Regards,
Chris

Hi Ken!

Positives:
Meets the challenge well. I like the line of the shore running up right to left. The natural lighting is good.

Possible Improvements:
There is no real contrasting colors here, so the photo looks rather dull. Maybe bumping up the levels and saturation just a tad would help. Seems to have a bit of noise and might be over-sharpened just a bit, as well.

Hope you find this critique helpful. Look forward to seeing your future entries.

Regards,
Chris

Good lighting, nice sharp focus on your subjects and good use of a shallow DOF.

This is absolutely great. I hope people take the time to understand this message. I was going to do something with the same message, but couldn't get subjects for it.

Composition is done very well.

Hi Judy -

The composition and lighting on your subject is good. Interesting take on the challenge.

Possible Improvements:
There seems to be a bit of noise, as the subject is not in sharp focus. It looks like your focus may have actually been on the window. I think it may have looked better with a shallower DOF with the window blurred more. The brightness of the window is just a little distracting.

Good luck with your future entries.

Nice sharp focus. I like the shadow too. I would have given it a 7, at least.

I noticed in your comments, you liked this better, but didnt post because you thought people would think it was too PSed. First, I don't think it looks too PSed at all. Secondly, screw the voters, do what you like. :-)
