What an interesting and creative image I drew to critique. I really like this one.
I think this unconventional framing and composition of this image really makes you stop to study it and think about the moment that has been captured. I like the way the camera angle is on the boys' level and how it is cropped so close. It concentrates the viewer on the expression and interaction between them. I especially like the way only the eye and wrinkled nose on the older boy is shown. I like how the baby is higher up than his older brother. The whole image really tells a story. It is very engaging. WEll done.
A small nitpick about the crop is how the ear of the baby is a little distracting and leads my eye towards the edge of frame. THe larger negative element in this image is the background. It is too high contrast and busy, which is very distracting especially becuase it takes up the middle of the frame. Maybe burning it down and/or blurring could help with this.
I love commenting on a free study, because I don't have to address how well the image met the challenge!
Please feel free to pm me with any questions about my comments. Excuse the typos :)
This is a great shot the balance between the children is excellent. I do however find that the background is a little distracting. I would try toning this down a little, to relly bring out the faces of the children
Funny expression on the older kid's face. Beautiful use of black adn white. It would be nice to see a little more of the face on the right and less of the distractign pattern on the shirt.
