Unconventional Cello Practice

beautiful composition the hills really balance out the guy playing the cello. I like the faded saturation but I think this could use just a tad more contrast. Lovely!

cute idea but the execution is odd. The left earphone really blends in with the background and the top right is really blown.

I like th epose here but the graininess kind of takes away from the power of her eyes. A little cloning would be good for little spots that destract . She has a very powerful face though and the lighting is well done.

Because the sun was behind her you should use a reflector to get more light on her face. I did that with this headshot of my friend matt where the sun was behind him but we still got great light balance because we reflected the back light onto his face. I used one of those silvery sun blocker things you put in the windshield of a car when you leave it in a parking lot to keep the car from becoming a heater. It worked out really cool.

For other ideas you can also check out my portraits collection.

The blown out paper in the background kind of takes away from this nice bud you have there.

Nice use of the available space. The magnitude of the dinosaur is really made apparent by the people on top of the balcony type thing.

I like the idea but these hands don't look like they are very young and its really out of focus.
