Hi from a member of the Critique Club!
You asked that your photograph be critiqued by a member of the Critique Club in this challenge.
This is a nice shot, what would have helped you is focus. Your focus is very soft. I see that your ISO is fairly high here so it may have been a darker room and that is why you needed more ISO. Sharpness would be the key in this shot, You have a nice blurred background that does compliment the face with its lighter colours. The score reflects your lack of focus and sharpness.,
You did okay for your first entry and I look forward to seeing more from you!

Thank you all for the feedback! I really enjoy the prospect of learning and evolving, and I'm not the best judge of my own product.
This entry was a little opportunistic. I happened to catch the shot just prior to learning about this contest. Though the event was outdoors on a bright sunny day, the face painting was done in a dark shaded area of the school. Since all the comments below, I'm spending a lot of time practicing and learning about light and its effect on exposure.

Too much motion blur from zooming that far in, you would need to use a much faster shutter speed to get that sharp, like 1/400th.
Good first attempt though, keep at it and you will learn a lot from this site. |

| Nice idea, the image is oof, and a little underexposed, or lacking contrast. 5 |

| I like his face paint, very colorful. The photo seems soft and perhaps slightly motion blurred, however. |

| A bit out of focus and flat. A punch in the colours and shadows would improve a bit this photo. |

| Out of focus, motion blurred .... B&W kinda makes that sort of photo work leastways for me. I really like the way you've captured so much feeling here. |

| Focus is way too soft, colors look soft too. Try fixing your focus, and increase your saturation for sure. |
