Hey there from the Critique Club
First off, always try to include some info about the shot in the Photographer's Comments section. It really helps out when we know what the photographer was thinking and what equipment/lighting/etc. were used, especially when you request a critique. Secondly, always try to use the full 640 px parameters that DPC allows. Smaller images lose detail and tend to do poorly with scoring.
Camera Work/Technical: As far as I can tell with the small posting, the focus and WB are where they should be. It also looks like you did a good job with exposure control in an obviously harsh lighting situation.
Lighting: Harsh, but handled very well. I think that this one would benefit from early morning or either late afternoon lighting. This would help reduce some of the shadows and even out the lighting over the subject.
Composition/Content: The fence really hurts the composition, but I understand that it is necessary for your safety. It's just a bit distracting. I do like the positioning of the cowboy, but I'd rather see the business end of the horse.
My Opinion: You were on the right track here. It looks more like an environmental snapshot than an environmental portrait. I'd like to see more of the cowboy and have him looking at the camera with a set expression. I think this one scored pretty close to its potential, |
