 My first venture into lighting with no flash.

How do you stop a fidget bum from fidgeting - and that's just me.

The light on the boys face was hand held and this has caused some slight bluring on his hair. Now I know this I can work on it next time.

My Verdict. - I like the composition but need to do better with the lighting, hey ho.

One of the rare instances that lens flare actually helps the shot. Otherwise just an average shot, not good but far from bad either.

Interesting setup. Nice lighting. It's a tad blurry though.

This is a near perfect image. THe white balance is perfect. The streaming sun is amazing. The old desk is really dramatic. Love the Pink Floyd like touch of the costume here. I find the image just a tiny bit out of focus though and that's a shame. I realize doing an unsharp mask or sharpen doesn't always work. I do love this though. Well done! 9

Picture doesnt show anything much... neither of guys work neither of his face. You really should have taken it from more left...there seems good light and viewpoint over his work. Keep shoting.

Focus is a little soft. I love the light rays flowing to the desk.

A little sharper and this would have been one of my favorites.

Nicely composed. Seem out of focus. Rays at top left are mysterious, to me. Good idea, just could be tighter.

Good idea. I think the focus could have been a little sharper but maybe that's from downsizing the picture too.
