This is my first submission here. I’m hoping for some beginners luck. I’d like to thank my wife for putting up with me through 175 shots until I got the framing and lighting that I liked.

The camera was in manual mode. Auto-exposure made it too light.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Well first of all, WELCOME TO DPC. Its one of those places that you will love and hate all at the same time. Welcome and congrats on getting that first entry in!

My thoughts on the image: This is a nice start. While not scored over the midpoint yet, this is still a nice way to begin. I love the warmth you captured on the face of your subject. The subject is also nicely focused and crisp.

My ideas for improvement: I'd like to see a little better composition. While I am no stickler for the 'rules of photography' this one is a little too centered for my tastes. I think that I'd even like a square crop best on this particular capture, thus cropping off some of the emptiness on the left hand side of the frame.

Where I would have/did score this entry: In this particular instance, I agreed with the voters. I voted this one at 5, but it truly wasn't far from pulling a 6 or better. Nice work and again, WELCOME!

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
