Going Incognito

I like this photograph. Only thing are the little light dots both on the glasses as well as on the face. Perhaps they should have been edited out. Love the see-through effect of the head and the dark hat in contrast

I like your choice of model. Very much like your background and angle, really ads fun to the picture. The glasses are definitely focus of attention, despite the cute kid :-). I don't like the rfelection in the glasses so much though, especially the light at the top rim really distracts

Although the glasses don't necessarily have to be the main focus IMO, I do think that they have to add in a significant way to the image to fulfill the challenge. I don't think the glasses here do that job. I also find the lighting very distracting with the brigh window. My eye keeps jumping between the window and the guitar. Maybe a totally different crop would have helped the viewer more to focus?

Don't know what those 2 stripes in the background are, but I find them distracting. Other than that a really nice image. Like the composition, the colours, the whole idea.

I can't believe this didn't score better. I thought this would go right to the top ...

Cute idea, nice photograph, I like composition and DOF. Only comment is that the pawn looks like it is a brush holder of some sort and I was quite confused initially as to what this actually is. I can see now on the top is the reflection of the other pieces, still don't know what the "neck" part is ... Makes an otherwise really good picture confusing (at least for me :-))
