I like the idea... don't like the backgorund... would prefer if the armor were standing in a more appropriate place. 4 sjgleah

good subject, good composition, and good colors. the only problem you need to correct is the overexposure of the sky. it looks like you already tried to fix that with your flash. I guess there's not much else you could do if it's in a museum. maybe you could have a buddy cover up the window fromthe outside? what might be best is to wait until it's not so bright outside (though by then the museum or whatever could be closed. I don't know)

Great subject matter but the red wall is a little distracting. Perhaps if you had made this black and white the armor would be more of a focal point? Also, it is a bit off-centered. Perhaps if it were zoomed-in a bit more also and focused in on a specific part of the armor like the helmet?

nasty flash, taken old very literally

Too bad the window is right there! That's a rust armor! I kinda question the cropping, esp. the left elbow and hands, I can live without the legs/feet. 7 Swash

Flash is too obvious in this one. Might be better as a tripod mounted medium exposure.

That is a bright red, there. I think if you had moved jsut a touch to the left, then the yellowish color could play in the picture a little more. It kinda looks like he just walked in the door. karmat

this is definitely a nice subject for the 'old' challenge... the background, however, does not contribute much to that concept. Maybe it woud have been possible to move to a better area, maybe not :) - jmsetzler

white window distracts -- as does red background. ignoring that, I think the title was very appropriate, and if the figure were talking to something other than the edge of the picture, it would be quite cute.

Nice subject matter but I am not keen on what's included in the frame and what's missing (rest of him).

The armour looks like it's trying to hear something – the title 'Pardon me, only I'm a little deaf' would have been amusing :) Technically and challenge wise it's a great picture.

Good subject but I think you should have moved around the subject to avoid the bright white light of the window which has shown up chromatic aberrations in your lens (the blue fringes). Good use of flash. Good focus, colour and contrast.

This is a little disorienting to me; the armor is leaning one way and the window the other!

Bright light of the window is distracting...
