Hi from the Critique Club!
Critiquing this challenge has me wondering about the mental health of DPCers:)) The incredible range of subjects chosen for Single Light Source leaves me fascinated. How on earth do you see the challenge title and then think 'Ahh! Wolverine!'. Not that I'm complaining...especially the way you have done it:)) I fell in love with him after the movie..so I am not complaining:))
I like the composition; the outstretched arms and the head back are perfect. But I'm not so sure about the crop...I want to love it but...You need, I think, some space above him for him to scream in to...not much..but more than here. If you had lifted your arms/hands a little higher, you could have cropped out the pants and increased the space at the top.
With low key, darker images like this, you always have to be aware that not all monitors are calibrated properly, and that what looks OK on yours or my screen, might be too dark on some of the voters screens...I say that, because I think you should have scored higher, and that this might be an explanation?
I like the subtle contrast and nice tones you have achieved with the lighting and post production, they enhance the emotion of the image. I also appreciate the effort and creativity that went into this.
A well executed image. |
