I love the theme and the bright colors are beautiful, the lighting must have been wonderful on this fine fall day. PS- My son loved reading the Jack and Annie "Magic Tree House" series.

Marvelous perspective for this portrait, most impressive use of a border to enhance an image, very "nerdy" indeed.

The close up of these amazing Gold Medals is lost in the brightness, the detail is there but just seems over-sharpened or over-saturated with color.

The washed-out denim blue color is awesome but the skin tone seems a bit pale, not sure if lighting was too harsh or post-processing drained the color from your model's face. Good idea for '79.

Where'd the contrast go? Strange angle for a picture that doesn't seem to say much about 1954.

1976, USA: The Bicentential

Comment:
This would be interesting if there were more negative space, as cropped, the dark center of the bell (with no detail) is too prominent, and the maroon color in the border seems to come from nowhere (no link to the image). If you were trying for Red, White, and Blue the colors are off.

Off centered is a DPC fav, but the backdrop is just too dark considering the subject is black.

Best Picture 1974 - The Godfather Part II

Comment:
I usually don't complain about wrinkled sheets as backdrops (sometimes they add texture), but for me, you may have gotten away with this one if the sheet crossed all the way to the left frame, I realize cropping his hand out wasn't an option but the left side becomes a big distraction from the well-posed subject. This idea has a lot of potential for a reshoot (maybe lose the backlighting on the right too). Good Luck 7

Unique idea to represent "where it all started".
