Into The Rabbit Holeby
GreggeNComment by frisca: Hi from the Critique Club, Greg!
I hope I can offer you some useful comments on your matrix entry.
Colour, Composition, Contrast:
You were in tough company with the number of red/blue pill shots, but yours was one of the more bold compositions because you included a person in it.
The skin tones here seem a bit red, perhaps due to underexposure? I'll touch on lighting below, but here I will say that I like the placement of your subject and the hands open with a pill in each palm. I wish the pills were more visible, however, as they seem to get lose in the shape of the forward hand, maybe if they were tipped downward just a little more to better present the pills to the viewer? I like the mood created by your composition, however. I would not alter it too much. :)
Focus and lighting:
Here is where I think your shot could have benefitted from a little more work. Its a bit dark, though I really like that one side of your subject is fading into the black. I would have preferred a little more light on the lit side. I like the reflections on the glasses too though, it adds some interest to the face.
Overall:
This is a good shot that only needed a bit more lighting to bring out the expression of the shot! :)
Happy shooting, and keep submitting!
