Critique Club Comment
Composition:
I like the angle of the shot, and the "contemplation definately does come through.Would have liked the lighting to be a bit softer, as its a bit harsh on the forehead and nose especially. In terms of the sunglasses, i like the idea, but theres a few problems. Firstly, i find the reflection of the fingers a bit distracting, and secondly i don't like the way the glasses seem to cut the left eye in half. perhaps lower placement? smaller sunglasses? Also, would have liked a different crop. Perhaps a a slightly tighter crop so theres more emphasis on the person. Colours are fairly dull, but it works well for this picture.
Camera Work:
DOF is excellent, though one of the fingerrs looks a little soft. Picture is nice sharp and in focus
Post-Processing:
Perhaps a little more burning in the areas of harsher lights would be nice. Also, the colour of the eyes could have been enhanced a little just to bring them out a bit. Also, this may be an opportunity to remove reflection from sunglasses, but i'm not sure if that'd look a bit fake. perhaps a little more processing of skin, eg on hands is possible just to make them less prominent.
My Opinion:
Meets the challenge, looks like its been taken with a single source. Contemplation is definately conveyed. Overall a little softer lighting, and some changes to the sunglasses would have helped score higher.
