* Greetings from the Critique Club *
Hi Lorrie. I thought this was a terrific entry for the Photojournalism II challenge. Well done.
I guess the main question I have for this image is why didn't you use colour? It looks like an amazing painting and it would of been great to see it in all it's glory. Also, the concentration shown on his face is priceless. I would have to disagree with some of the comments you received regarding a different angle to show more. I think the way you've captured this works well as there is a nice balance of his side profile and I think you are showing enough of the painting as well.
The focus seems nice and crisp. There's a bit of nasty shadow under his chin and his left arm which distracts a little. Depending on the building you were in maybe a bit of bounced flash may of worked differently. I really like the crop you have used as you've really filled the frame with your subject.
All up, a really great photo. Keep your photos coming because your portfolio is full of terrific photos. Well done!

| Nice shot, but the viewer might like to see what he is painting as well. |

| I think this is a really good photo. The only suggestion I could think of making is if it were possible - to have shot it at a slightly different angle so to catch the artists face, but also the painting detail just a little bit more. |

| Lifestyles, A&E sections of local papers often run photos like this. Nice capture and love the look of concentration on his face. |

| I think the line next to his eye could have be cloned out. Otherwise a good picture. |
