HI from the C Club
you asked for an in depth comment (and your only one by the looks of it) for this shot in the Drama challenge
First off, great shot, i really like it.
I think what is hurting this is the focus issue, it is not that sharp. Most people will want a tack sharp image and not just the hat being in focus.
The more you look at the photo though, the more appealing it does become not sharp. But a thing we all know is that in challenges, most people will look at a photo for 5 seconds and move on.
So bar the sharpness, I also think that this could be a more dramatic black and white. I know that the clothes are black and white, but you have an amazing face to work with as well as the back ground here. Try playing around with the selective colours and saturations, shadow and highlight, then turning it into black and white. This has worked for me several times to bring out details that are otherwise lost.
I actually like the tilt in this, it really works well, as it provides a great leading line.
if you get the chance to redo this shot, do it!!!
