Nice composition, however I don't like the orange tone on this. How would/did it look in contrasty black&white?

I guess other stuff out there may have been more clichee but definitely more attractive than this station, no?

beautiful dog and I think the wisdom is very present in his/her expression. I like the almost complete lack of detail on the bottom right.

a little too much saturation on the grass for my taste.

I guess I'm not the only one to tell you to use less compression. the otherwise promising looking picture is incredibly pixelated - or was that intentional?!

better luck next time

Hi Nico, this is Bruno writing to you from the Critique Club,

I guess there's not much left to say for me... I personally think that the clash of noble coolness and the pale skin of the model clash in a very punchy way with that ill-fitting office chair. Without it, there wouldn't be enough color in the picture - at least for the more narrow minded DPCers around.

I like the casual, relaxed looking but probably terribly uncomfortable pose, the well lit model and the equally well but not too evenly lit background and the fine details like the pieces of jewelry and the very subtle but effective make-up.

Over all, in my book, a great portrait that certainly deserves the average vote it got, if not more.

Congrats!

Ditto, Tranquil - FANTASTIC shot, Simon!

I didn't get to vote on everything but this would have scored at least an 8 from me. People are so narrow minded when it comes to concepts like "portrait". What the heck is up with that? If the face doesn't make up half the frame, it's not a portrait?!?

Oh well, true artists don't need the mob's approval to feel good about their own work... right guys?

Cheers from the other end of the world,

Hi, this is Bruno aka member beegee, writing to you on behalf of the critique club.

I'll be encouraging and full of suggestions, but VERY blunt about what works and what doesn't work FOR ME on your submission:

The background is TOO blown out - or, as it seems from the too sharp edged foreground, CUT out and left or made bright white - try a softer white or a light gray or even a dark gray or black instead, see how that looks.

Exposure on his face is nice, but could be better if you'd used a little bit of flash (even built in) to, beside helping colors and contrast, make his eyes shine, literally, by adding a highlight (reflected, indirect or tuned down direct, i.e. on camera flash) where his pupils are.

Pose, subject, "styling", i.e. the red sweater, perspective and even the crop are good, but the cut out background, the left in part of the tree and the fact that there's a white background, don't help the picture.

Check out Richard Avedon's work for the best portraiture on white backgrounds that I've EVER seen - just "google image" him.

Please let me know if this kind of critique helps you, personally. It's my style, I like it but I know that that doesn't mean a thing if people can't appreciate what I'm trying to put across.

I was a student once, too and teacher don't always get you now, do they? ;-)

All the best for current and future challenges.

Bruno

Are we there yet? ;-)

Good take on the challenge! Technically sound, funny details (that is Bush, on the money, right?) and FINALLY some good use of selective desat again. Congrats!

8 from me.

WOW, great shot and concept. Cold sweat, huh?

Very well thought out (caged egg, "sweat", two conspirators lurking in the "half shadows") and executed (light, DOF, composition) for a speed challenge, one of the best I've seen so far, am giving you a 9 for this.
