Self-Portrait

What a cool and original thought. I like the choice in DOF, and it has a nice crisp focus to it where you wanted it to be focused. I like this very much.

I like the idea and colouring of this self portrait. I think the darkness meant that you could have worked a bit on the focus. Mysterious!

Hi Koriyama!

This is your critique from the critique club.

It's funny that I should get this picture to critique, cause I have had my eye on it for the last week or so. I saw it, and I found it immediately appealing.

The lighting is superb, and so is the composition. I don't understand what brought your score down. My only guess is that there is a slight graininess, probably from using such an extreme Aperture setting. I think if you had tried something shallower for a macro like this, it may have been less grainy.

There is such a stark desolate feeling to this picture. I really like it, and had I voted, I would have given it very high marks.
Great job on your first shot.

I like the intense feeling of this shot. The look on your face makes all the difference. About the technicalities of the shot. It seems a tiny bit busy, and a bit blown out in places, but i still like the feel.

Yup...this is the real me

What a lovely portrait :) I like the lighting on the left hand side. I think if you'd managed to keep it even through the whole shot, like on the left, it would have worked a bit better. The right seems a bit blown out. Great colours.

This is such a cool and imaginative shot. I like the feeling. There's one flaw right under the hairline on the right, where it's a bit reddish... but not much of a flaw for me.

I feel so light ...

Cute title :) Are you praying? I think this would have probably worked better without the light behind your head, lol.

I wonder what you're looking at? hehe.. I think you could have used a bit more light possibly from the front. There's also a bit of blur, because this is hand held?

What beautiful eyes. I like this shot a lot, very daring. I particularly like how you're about to blend into the background! I keep on getting lost in your eyes. A very appealing picture.

hehe, cool shot. I like the choice of shallow depth of field. YOu have a bit of blur, probably because this is held by one hand? I'm not sure. I like the busy background; it makes you look like a very active person :)
