Composition (content) The power of this image is in the shadows. They create extra dimensions. Therefore it would be interesting to see the whole shadowgame. I wonder if this was done on purpose, is it part of the art, is it coincedence lighting from the auction hall owner?
Because of the shadows I think that a landscape view would have worked better, the lower part of the portrait view is just empty and on smaller resolutions it stretches the image beyond the 600-explorer and Start bar pixels making people scroll, scroll for nothing.
The labels are little spoilers, but you cannot pull them off. You should have bought it! ;)
The subject is shot at a nice non-centered angle, works well.
As this is someone else's art it would be nice to tell who made it to in a way give some kudos to the creater. Selling this could get you into trouble for copyright violaton in most countries. Just a thought.
Background Nice clean orange provides a good background for the shadows and finds some balance in the figure's pants.
Camera Work (Technical) Good choice of aperture and ISO to keep the shutter handholdable.
Focus and exposure is good, but the sharpness is on the soft side. I don't think that that is a problem in this picture.
Digital Processing (technical) When it is cropped from a much larger image, try a landscape view with more shadows. The submitted picture could benefit from a tighter crop in height. I wonder what some unsharp masking would do.
My opinion Cool subject, a lot of potential for a great photo.
I love this... the color is phenomenal and I love the way the shadows create extra impact on this shot. I assume this is a piece hanging for sale in a shop somewhere maybe... I really would have like to see the P21 sticker removed, but it may not have been possible... = 10 for submitting this anyway... great shot and keep up the good work :) - setzler
