CRITIQUE CLUB!
good crop that's tight on the face. focus is pretty good as well, and the helmet helps tell a bit of a story.
suggestions for improvement:
- the harsh midday lighting is extremely uneven and creates a wierd, bright "mask" over part of his face. taking this out of the direct sunlight would really help.
- the unusual angle doesn't really help the photo. instead of focusing on this man's face and eyes and wondering what his story is, i find myself thinking "man, he hasn't shaved and i wonder what happened to the back of his face?"
- we're looking almost straight on to this person. having him turn a bit more and then turn his head back toward the camera might be a more interesting pose.
a different pose with more diffuse lighting would help this out immensely. don't give up -- keep trying. using the polarizer definitely helped out here. |

Nice image but perhaps a little too candid to be a true portrait for me... :) |

I don't like the way the sun hits his face, or the shadows it causes. |

For me, the lighting is a bit too bright, and I wish I could see more of the...uniform? I like the sky background. |

Nice capture! The nose shadow bothers me a little- but a good portrait all the same. Nice work! |
