CRITQUE CLUB**
I love the concept of this one, the lighting is very very nice as well! good job, the rim of light on the back of the neck gives it a nice feel.
since I notice you also have a D70s I think this shot could have come out a bit crisper than it is now perhaps setting your fstop higher and your shutter slower on a tripod would help with but i dont see why it came out like this on the settings you posted. perhaps you saved the jpeg as very low quality, heres a tip for saving on the website with losing minimal quality.
on photoshop (if thats the program i believe you used) press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S or simply click on file-save for web and make sure you save between 75-90% for a crisp jpeg on the internet.
what i think would make this picture even more dramatic is that i think if you didnt black out the edges of his face as hard as you did and have it fade it smoother it would make this an even nicer composition. over all the idea is great. |
