his hand is blurry, but his face looks awesome! You need to recenter the focus so that everything is sharp. lighting is very nice.

Nice eye for the composition. I would like it more if the hands were in focus. To me that is the POI.

A lost art. I think clearer focus on the brush and its strokes would have caused a better overall composition.

I like very much. Maybe the artist should be even more in focus and the painting (slightly) more out of focus. still a 7

I think it would have been better if the focus was on the hands instead of the back of the artists head.

This is a really lovely idea...for me, I would have brought the focus onto the artist's hands and brush...not the head so much. I just think that the hands are the focal point (whether or not they're centred). I love the tones and palette of the the picture in general.

I like this photo, but the focus on the painter's hair is a bit off-putting... I probably would have liked this a little more if it had been on the hand holding the brush, or a part of the painting. :)
