Critique Club Review:
Color, Saturation, and Hue: Colors are good. Skin tones are accurate, and nothing is over saturated.
Brightness and contrast: Highlight areas are starting to blow out. See forehead, and near right eye. Any brighter and it would become very noticeable. Shadow areas hold good detail.
Focus and depth of field: Focus is nice and sharp. Depth of field is appropriate for image.
Subjective: You were killed by the litteralists who did not see a lightbulb. Even though you used two strobes, it did come across as single bulb lighting. However, they wanted to see the bulb.
I like the look of the lighting, looks like stage lighting. Though it is maybe a tiny bit harsh for my taste as the highlights were starting to burn out, as I mentioned at the top. While I do not need to see a lightbulb, I don't think it fit the challenge as well as others. I think you would have done much better in a free study or portrait challenge, with this photo. |
