Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: Nice work with the camera, as well as post-processing to give this one a nice depth of field. You did a very nice job of isolating him from the background, while still including the necessary elements of his environment.
Lighting: The lighting is a little harsh, but you have already addressed that in your comments. An early morning (if those still exist, haven't seen one in a loooooong time) or late afternoon shooting of this one would have improved it a great deal.
Composition/Content: I would have liked to have seen a bit more of him and his environment. The composition is a little cramped, but pulling back a bit and including more of his body, the tractor, and the dusty field that I am imagining would have also drawn more high votes.
My Opinion: Nice work, and I think that this one was better than several that placed higher. You met the challenge very well, while others had missed it by a mile. With a little more info in the frame, I think this one would have pulled a much higher score. |
