CRITIQUE CLUB!
the composition and color in this shot really rock. the focus is also very good, although it seems a bit far back (the ears are sharp, but the lips and nose seem kind of soft).
suggestions for improvement include:
- removing that green plant. it's the only part of the background that's in color and it draws the eyes away from the model.
- expose the kids eyes. although the sunglasses do convey "attitude," i think that many people feel that eyes are one of the more important aspects of a portrait. this shot removes that attribute from the mix.
- there seems to be a stray hair on his forehead that could easily be cloned out. that's minor, though.
overall, a great shot that really stands out. this is going to be a fun one for you to show his fiancee later on. :) |

| WHAT! Had you as an 8. I thought the idea of color portrait was to capture that certain something about a person. You did that beautifully. Great job. |

| A very "cool" portrait. The bit of leaves are somewhat distracting to me, especially since they contrast with his shirt. Otherwise, I like the chosen background. |

| Oh and he does look tough too! I like the contrast of the boy with the rocks behind him. The sprouts of red hair on his head really add to the wonderful colors in this photograph. Best Wishes! |

| Cool porttrait, glasses and expression, somehow the background and the plant is not suitable and are distracting. The plant seems to contradict the "thrasher" theme |

| This has great potential. I'd put him up against a solid background and you'd really have something! Like the expression and the hair and glasses. HEE HEE Cute kid. |
