::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Interesting shot .. good lines .. interesting boxers (grin)

Composition:
its like the feet and arms hit the thirds vertically and the tummy hits the top thirds .... which to me seesm a little centred .... I can see the rocks are a little more vertical than your crop depicts ... would cropping it a little more upright have changed the composition enough to take in the leading lines of the water further?

Subject:
Meets the challenge .. in fact seems downright at home here :)

Technical (Colour and light):
I love natural light ... and you used it well.

To grow its vote?:
You seem to be challenging yourself outside of your comfort zone .. and this is good. It takes time to develop the skills to pull off the higher scores .. and sometimes you have managed to do this from your portfolio.

Summary:
You have a good eye .. keep building your skills .. .you are doing great.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Usually a portrait includes the face. This shot does not hold my interest.

The DOF is very nice

Out of focus and face not visible. Hardly a "portrait". Ignoring the theme, this is a nice capture.

It was otherwise a nice shot but I don't quite see the environment part..

nice portrait.

Photograph a portrait that says something about the subject within the framework of their own environment.

I love the way this little one is laying on the rocks.. the OOF rock in the foreground adds to the overall composition - I would like to see more of his face and in crisper focus..more DOF would have made this an even better photo
