Hi from the Critique Club!

What an interesting bio you have! And congratulations on your high score.

The first thing that stands out here is those eyes. The intense stare really grabs the viewer and challenges them to look away. The whites of the eyes amplify the intensity and attitude, especially as the overall image is so dark, creating nice contrast and tension.

Secondly, the use of negative space is very creative here; the face looks like it's coming out of the darkness and straight at the viewer. The subtle highlights of the zip are perfect for adding some interest in that negative space which otherwise could have seemed a little flat.

The skin texture adds yet more drama and a harshness that echos the almost violent expression in the eyes. The hair over the eyes enhances this feeling too.

You have created an image that has incredible impact and conveys strong emotion, and that is borne out by your high score.

Your harsh lighting has helped you create this story well.

Hi OJ!

High scoring photos are always hard to critique, so I'm generally rather brief about them.

I like the world of darkness comic book feel of this photo. There is a terrific texture in your skin here that lends the image a nice grittiness. The soft focus works well, and the blown highlights give an impression of heat. I also like that your hair is in your eyes, but perhaps there is just a touch too much there.
