| Nice lighting for a portrait. Could be improved, I think, with a shallower depth of field to blur the background more. I'm distracted by what's going on there, and there's enough going on in the foreground to keep me interested. |

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: This is a rather pristine piece of work, it's difficult to take much fault with it - the angles and the composition serve the image very well.
Critical stuff: I am vehemently anti-smoking, I hate looking at images which show someone smoking - I know I'm not the only one. The lighting is very subtle, perhaps a little so subtle - I feel the image has been robbed a little of vibrancy and contrast. The more I look at it, the more I want to nudge the field of view to the left, giving some more space behind him and a little less to the right of the glass.
Overall: Completely competent and well made but the smoking motif alienates me as a viewer. |
