*** Greetings from the Critique Club ***
Hi Cole, here are my thoughts on your Indecision entry:
Challenge
The entry fits the challenge very nicely, don't think anyone can disagree with me on that one.
[/b]Composition[/b]
Your composition is very nice, good use of the square format and your head and the coin are placed nicely within the frame (must have been a pain in the rear to get the coin in the right place with a timer!)
[/b]Lighting[/b]
Lighting is great, good use of an external flash with good detail on shirt and skin and it doesn't have that "hard-flash-look" that I don't like. The cap might have been slightly lighter to seperate it from the background.
[/b]Camera work[/b]
Great work here, everything within the dof, very sharp and clear in all ways. You know your gear.
[/b]Post-Processing[/b]
Great b/w, very clean and simple, nothing looking "fixed" or faked.
[/b]Title and Info[/b]
Title is good (and true) and the info, although short, sais everything it needs to say imho.
[/b]Overall (my opinion)[/b]
Good shot in most ways but might be better. Lacks the so called wow-factor, but then again this challenge and the wow factor is hard to combine (couldn't find anything to shoot my self).
Hope this helps (excuse my english, i'm icelandic)
Best regards, Tyrkinn |

| I like the B&W. And the expression. He looks undecided. Good composition and nice use of the square crop. Very good balance between dark and bright. Very neat T-shirt :-) 8 and good luck |

| Beautiful use of black and white. I would love to know your technique for conversion to black and white. The composition works really well too. |

| great black and white. If it wasn't for all of the coin flipping in this challenge I think this could easily have made a 7 or 8. I love the balance of the photo with the evenly divided black and white halve of the overall photo. |

Challenge link: medium/strong.
Image critique: while it's well composed this doesn't hold much interest apart from meeting the brief. Lighting is quite flat and there's not much to hold interest for long. However, it's well focused and captured. Expression is good.
Out-of-challenge appeal: little. |

Great expression on this guys face. too bad you couldn't get a good background with this.
I don't feel he's flipping the coin for any particular reason. 7 |
