Although adolescents can certainly be moody, I don't believe that 'puberty' qualifies as a mood. A catchlight would have improved this image. As it is I can barely see a difference between his iris and his pupil.

Ah yes. I recognize that look. This portrait is very well made.

Great shot and the title covers 450 moods usually experienced by teens during the course of a day. Good luck!

One gripe I have about this is the fact that Puberty itself isn't a mood ;) Tiny gripe though.. nitpickiness at its best. Fantastic focus on the face, but perhaps a little too contrasty. The darkness is a good complement to the mood, but the contrast brings out the sharpness to a point where it's almost over-sharp.

good composition; eyes at the right place for rule of thirds. Good catch of teen angst.

Skin looks very odd, like he's wearing makeup but a nice character study. Title comes across as condescending though. Not sure about the dof, I think i'd have prefered much more, or much less.

good shot, a different title could have done it better justice - is "puberty" a mood?
