Surprisedby oksamitComment by jmsetzler: Greetings from the Critique Club...
Hi Oksamit...
"Portraiture" holds an implied meaning to most viewers. In my mind, portraiture is a prepared and planned photograph of a person in a somewhat formal setting or with a formal idea behind it. There are many variations of portraiture, one of which I'm sure this photo falls into. This image doesn't intrigue me in any way. There is noting particular about the composition or lighting that makes it stand out as high quality work. I think it would make a good addition to your family album, but it doesn't create any sense of wonder for me as a viewer. I have no emotional attachment to your subject and there is nothing in the photo to create that attachment for me.

City parallelsby oksamitComment by Sammie: Excellent photo. The lines add to the starkness and feeling of the picture. Meets the challenge very well as the lines of the buildings make the photo. |

Surprisedby oksamitComment by andywightman: A good subject but this feels like a snapshot. A bit more time spent on trying alternative angles and compositions would have yielded an improved image in my view. |
