**Critique Club**
Initial Impression: I'm not qualified to critique this shot.
Detailed analysis: Joey, you have to know this is a spectacular shot and a well deserved ribbon. Your talent stretches well above and beyond my own and I'm twice your age! Your comments just further prove your creativity and ability to make the most of a situation.
Since this is supposed to be a critique, I'll give it my best shot... here goes.
The composition is spot on and I love the dramatic lighting. Your light position helps draw attention to the fog and casts very strong shadows on your profile to give a very dark and mysterious feel. There were comments on the patch of green grass, but personally I like it. It adds to the MIB realism... On a surreal, mysterious case in a very real environment. The polka dots on the tie don't exactly fit, but it's a detail that becomes lost in the otherwise flawless execution.
Overall Impression: Excellent shot, well thought out and executed. Well deserved ribbon!
I normally end my critiques here, but I wanted to add a side note in your case. When I first became more active in DPC, there was much talk about this young prodigy with a very "grunge" look. After a while your "style" became very obvious and I also noticed that many were trying to mimic the style. It's nice to see that lately you seem to have evolved to shoot images that are "outside" of your proverbial box. This image, although dark, contains none of the trademark "Joey grunge" and your destinations ribbon winner is incredibly colorful. I'm not sure if this is the beginning of some type of transition in your life, but it is very refreshing to see you evolve and develop as a very talented artist. As you continue to develop and grow as a photographer and videographer, I wish you great success.

I wrote my comments on this entry in Notepad and forgot to paste them in when I voted on this, so I'll paste them in now:
Originally posted by (Kens Notepad comments from, uh... a few days ago):
Lighting and composition are good, but it looks like the guy is barefoot and are those jeans he's wearing? Also, the briefcase actually looks like some sort of toolset, the jacket looks borrowed and I'm not making any value judgements, but that is probably the only tie his family owns - looks like I've seen it on some 8th grade graduation pictures or something.
My son thinks it looks like that Joey guy. "Joey Who??!" I asked him.
In spite of all that I gave it a 7 out of pity. |
Muwahahaa. Just yankin yer chain Joey. Congrats on a job well done. That ribbon winner will help me justify to my wife the cost of purchasing a fog machine- especially when I tell her it is much cheaper than moving to Iceland. :P

| Very nice photo, good lighting and very nice smoke. Especially interesting how the model scans the darkness, recieving message at the same time. I find it a bit distracting to see the grass in the left corner and only half of his face. On the other hand, the lighting on the lit part of the face could have suffered if another lightsource added. Very nice job. |

| Pretty cool, I love the lighting and the "feel" of the picture. Only qualms I have with the shot is that I would have preferred it the green grass had been something else, like pavement or... I dunno... Anyway, I wouldn´t be surprised to see this close to the top, 8 from me. |
