Lovely geometry and the B&W works so well here.

i like staircase shots so much...the lines and the repetition of the angles and stairs..nicely done with great capture of the details in the small tiles & the gleaming wood, and in the lighting too!

I like all of the lines and the different textures. Is this place a museum now?

I actually think the eyes are perfect. They pop, and I am totally focused on them. Im no expert whatsoever, but I love them. I think the angles are great.

This is my favorite of the bunch. I love the angle. Could use a bit of sharpening in the eyes I feel but cute non the less.

Hi,
Neat image, I like the way you cropped here brings full attention to the water nicely done. Love the detail you captured here crisp & sharp. I also like the way you famed it all in here top to bottom, left to right. Your duotones here are a nice soft blend, I like it. The only thing here that is really bothersome is that light. It is a major distraction, moving it left or right showing just the finges of it would have helped greatly. Overall like I said this is a really neat image nice work.

nicely abstract, tho most people on this site seem to rebel against not using all the pixels /7

Hi from the Critique Club,

I like your take on this image, although the emotion of the film doesn't really come across. I like the look on the boy's face, but it doesn't seem to be one of fear or worry. Instead, he looks more like a student waiting for a lesson.

Technically, the sharpness is good and in the right place. The background and composition are both good. As was already said, the lighting is a bit lacking on this shot. The entire left side of the image is underexposed, which wouldn't be bad if that didn't include part of his face. In the future, a reflector or fill light would correct this nicely.

Continuing with lighting, I think this image would have looked better with off-camera lighting; the catch lights in the eyes would be more engaging and the eyes wouldn't look as flat (with that in mind, the catch lights as they exist here are better than no catch lights at all).

Overall, I'd say that this boy would be a great model for you to use in future challenges. This image seems a bit forced for the challenge, and it seems to be reflected in your score. That said, there are many positive elements to this shot. I look forward to seeing your submissions in future challenges.

Regards,
Geoff
