*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image with lots to get absorbed in.

The focal point for me is the character sitting on the floor, he looks such a happy chappy with his single tooth! I rather wish his attention was drawn to his mate rather than the camera itself though. The window tells us more about them and their locality and trade and in itself has lots of interesting stuff to add to the story.

You have a lovely full range of tones throughout which good old SFX has brought out the best of together with the detail. It appears to be fairly low light given your settings and the light from the bulb. It feels a bit of a grab shot that is making the most of the natural moment as opposed to anything planned.

I need to mention a few minor issues that may, or may not, help to improve the end result. I have a bit of a problem with the left hand edge and wish it wasn't there so that the edge of the frame was the brickwork itself, now you may well argue that would position the other man too close to the edge which would be fair comment. I think it might be worth having a quick look at that crop removing the top edge where two more problems can be eliminated ie., the two light sources at the very top and further down on the black frame. I would still include the light on the brickwork so some cloning of the black frame light might be needed.

All in all, a good attempt that deserved a higher score, Sid
