Critique Club Review

Very good focus and depth of field. Interesting lighting. Very good, but a bit of washout at the base of the neck. With such a severe angle on the lighting, the fingers leave the face in darkness. Perhaps this was a goal for a subtle message, but it also hides the look of despair. With the lighting and angle, this could also be something out of the Aliens movies where they get grabbed by the face. Despair or assault? I think a second, low key light that revealed more of the expression behind the hand, could have been the ticket here.

I really like the blue tint to the picture. I think that this picture was done very well. Nice Work

great detail on the hand. I would lke to have seen the eye (open or closed). That is usally the focal point. Good demonstration of despair. Is the blue cast on purpose? Maybe b&w/sepia more dramatic 5
