Greetings from the critique club

I think this is a good concept.

A number of the things I see to comment on have been covered in the during the challenge comments.

Blur, shadows, fingers, all don't quite work.

I do like the composition in the frame.

Possible shooting from a greater distance to allow for more light fill below the eyes and better focus then cropping would have made for a better image.

Diffused fill flash or other diffused light from below to smooth out the shadows.

Of course you could go the other way entirely and strictly limit the light to create sharper shadows which could be interesting.

I can see there is a lot of good detail there.

I hope this helps.
JC

That's a funny look! (not sure its surprise!). Major issue here is focus and ligting.

well this one is in your face.:) funny shot. tad out of focus though. would have done better to have had the subject a greater distance from the lens then cropped.

There is a look of surprise here, no doubt but the fingers hurt this shot to me, it's almost as if they are trying to pull the eyes down to help create the shot when I'm betting it was supposed to be a hand clapped over the mouth?

The lighting is a bit harsh overall on this shot and the dark shadows under the eyes is distracting. The focus is also a bit wanting. Started with a 4 but will go to a 5

Interesting closeup, but I find the heavy shadows around the eyes annoying. Possibly a reflector (white paper would do) under the face would direct light to the area and lighten the shadows.
