Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Jbruno...

I think this is a decent portrait shot. The composition is nice and the soft light and soft focus effect seems to work nicely in conjunction with the image noise. I think the low contrast always adds a sense of peacefulness to the image. It looks like the comments you have received on this photo are all over the board. Black and white, soft focus, and grain are all elements that are liked and disliked subjectively. Not many people take the purpose behind it into consideration and evaluate based on those considerations.

Good work :)

John Setzler

Looks like hot fixage... The composition is great but this granularity adds nothing. Also the mid-tone range is lost somewhere.

You might have been going for the fuzzy noisy look, but i'm not so sure that it works for this picture - a less noisy (neatimage tinkled) photo might of conveyed the warm comforting feel in the photo better? An image with less noise would have given more detail, which personally i feel is semi-important in a portrait. And finally I would have cropped the bottom off a bit - more head less blanket. Composition though is really good, and i like the lighting. 6.

A nice peaceful photograph. A great capture of the subject's personality - something every portrait should strive to do. I like the tones and the lighting.

Very nice set-up, but the grain to me, doesn't work on this one.

Too grainy. I would have liked it better in focus.
