Hi Adrian, greetings from the Critique Club!
I voted this shot a 7 because I liked the overall execution of the photo.
Composition
Very good subject placing, in this photo the centring of the subject really helped.
Like a comment that you had, I too would have liked to see the ball higher, it would add to the notion that it is in fact levitating.
Lighting / Technique
Very good light control, you did exactly what you had to do for this shot. The lighting is harsh but at the same time very controlled on the hand and arm.
I think that the shutter speed could be quicker, as it does not affect the lighting (if you do not change it so much as to blacken the picture). You could go for 1/100 and probably got a steadier hand.
Processing
Great job on the skin toning and white balance, very well exposed. Since it was advanced editing, I would have like to see more contrast / shadows in the ball, through some careful dodge and burning.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao |
