Greetings from the Critique Club!
I do like the furtive nature of this shot...even if he is holding the cigarette backwards :-) The lighting is basic but very effective, and the bike in the background helps emphasize his youth. I like the stark shadow behind him, the comp, the use of b/w and your settings show that you know what you're doing.
This reminds me of the book covers of SE Hinton, who wrote gritty teen novels, often about kids growing up in hard circumstances. Google her name and you will see what I mean. There is definitely a flicker of defiance there in his eyes and the way he's looking up at you helps convey the 'So whaddaya gonna do about it, Dad?' rebelliousness. Maybe not quite James Dean, but not a bad start!
Unfortunately, in terms of an Emotive Landscape, this isn't quite what was expected. I do think that this could have made a very emotive portrait though.
Hope this helps, please continue to shoot and enter!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I was wondering how people would react to this. This wound up being a different shot than I envisioned, so realize that it wasn̢۪t really a landscape, but was hoping people would get the emotion I was looking to portray (disgust at a kid with cigarettes). And yes, it was staged so the kid wasn̢۪t really smoking. I think he was more nervous about being around cigarettes than I was!! |
Phew, good! Glad it was staged, I kind of figured it might of been! |

| I like this and again, under rated it the first pass through. Very evocative capture. Good contrast/brightness control, good level control. |

In my opinion, this is not a landscape image.
But, I'm just one person. :D Carry on... |
