mob boss and contractor

...from Critique Club...

FIRST IMPRESSION:
It's a couple of guys at a construction site...nothing interesting.

COMPOSITION:
I agree with what most people told you on the comments: composition could be better. The fact that you cut off the left guy's arm really makes the shot weaker. What bugs me the most is that the two men aren't on the same 'ground' level, and it seems like the guy on the right wants to shake 'invisible man's hand because it seems that he is behind the guy on the left. Maybe it's my eyes...who knows. But I do think that a wider angle could improve this shot.

TECHNICAL:
The lighting is pretty natural and works nicely. Focus is good, although the bulldozer seems a bit soft.

ARTISTIC:
Only after reading the title could I start to put a story behind the shot. I, like many others, am not familiar with MOB and construction relationships. So this shot doesn't mean much to me. I can appreciate your effort though.

OVERALL:
I think that if there was more emotion from the mobster, and the angle was wider, it would make it a fairer photo.

SIDE NOTE: If that happens to BE a mobster, and YOU are related...then please ignore my comments...perfect photo! :)

very nice shot...IMO if you used a wider aperture and got rid of the background (blured), it would have been perfect.

The contrast on this one is excellent, the perspective is great, a tad more DOF would have been nicer IMO 9- zadore

Hi athena...;) I think the idea was great, but you need more sharpness on the image. Also, on a shot like this make sure the monitor is shot at straight on, not on an angle...tthat way you get equal distance on all sides and it doesn't look crooked. Good luck. 5 zadore

Comment:
as a MACRO shot: I think the composition is nice, but a bit centered. The DOF is pretty good, a bit more would have gotten the nose nice and crisp too. Lighting seems a bit dark (but then again, I can't seem to get my monitor calibrated right)

Cute dog, for sure

Id give it a 7....instead of the 2 I gave you...you understand why :)

Side note...I bowl in Ajax every week...Plaza, on Harwood :) small world
