Critique Club

I cheked out your profile and it seems to me I should be learning from you rather than me critiquing you. Either way here is my honest critique.

My first impression is I really like this image. The black and white was a great choice also. The crop selection is great and the focus is spot on. I wonder how it would look without the stethoscope. The only thing that seems to bother me is your necklace. But it is very hard to see. Either way I think you should have cloned it out. The shadows on this are showing great depth and therefore I feel your lighting is perfect. Great job.

Congrats on top 20 - personally I was hoping to see this score higher.

Such a pity I couldn't vote on this. This is by far one of the very underrated pictures in this challenge.

Good looking. But you knew that. The intensity in the eyes is what really makes this image. The B&W conversion works too. :) 8

Nice shot -- I like how you have cropped it, and your look just reaches out and grabs the viewer.

Good expression in the eyes.

Some of the lighting is a little harsh on the chest but who cares with a face like that. Nicely executed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/24/2006 09:01:37 PM

not a bad idea. some people never listen to ANYBODY, not even themselves!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the lighting of this shot. The catchlight in your left eye is good, though wish there were one in your right eye too. The composition is great and the focus is too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Hello! Dude, you're H-O-T! Great shot & title. A tad of the over exposed side tho but gonna vote it as if that were intentional.

This is really hot yet sweet. Love the high key effect. Are you a med student? The slight squint is really emotive. Great use of negative space. Bumping up. AWESOME

Nice b&w photo. I like the crop as well. Have you thought about renaming your photo to \"Heartthrob?\" You know...because you're listening to your heart throbbing. :) Just a thought. Good luck!
