Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil
Composition - Nice mood in this shot. I think the lighting generally works, but I'd have tried to put the whole paper in the light instead of the streaks and shadows that overcome it. The other point about this picture that I don't really like is what the guy is wearing. It looks like a robe and slippers. Not that this is unacceptable attire around the home, for an "at work" theme, I'd have chosen something a little more work-like from his wardrobe. I like the angle you chose to shoot, over his shoulder looking in to what he's doing. I think that is the best part of this picture.
Technical - Great exposure. As for the lighting, its not a question of exposure but rather placement of the light. It is well focused and clear.
Overall - A little change in the lighting on this one might have made a pretty big change in your score. I don't know how many variations you tried on the lighting, perhaps backlighting this would've put more emphasis on the paper, showing us a little more silhouetted look, but with more emphasis on the paper. I think it was pretty well done with great mood. Nice work! - Bob |

I like this, but I'd like it better with different lighting, I think. As it is, my eye goes to the blank part of the paper (where the light hits it) and to the subject's hair - rather than to his face or hand, or the writing, which are more shadowed. |

I love how the light on the hair suggest an Einstein like person. The title is confusing, though. I happen to know this man, but others do not know if he does physics for a living, or whether he's just sitting back doing some math. A DR. or PROF in front of his name or just a simple "Physics Professor" would clarify much for voters. I love this shot and wish it would win! |

Nice and moodful picture. I think this might be a winner. (9) |
