First Impression - the most important one: To me ... this is very english beauty type shot ... so much the young gentry :)
Composition: I love how you got him in the perfect third of the shot ... the background really adds here ...
Subject: meets the challenge .... well and truely .. pity that not all get the feeling of the ole english ... but I think it is truely here.
Technical (Colour and light): of course natural light ... and great colours .. the makeup you have used on your poor kid really makes the face look fantastic .. you should be proud.
To grow its vote?: try to get it through that not everyone lives in the same environment. So many things that i have entered that mean lots here in NZ mean nothing on this site .. no matter how good the shot. This shot is a top 10 to me.
Summary: Great work .. keep it up .. try completing yur photographers comments as well.
Interesting to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Thanks for the comments - the model was actually my 15 year old son, who also was a good enough sport to walk around the town with make-up on before the shoot
I'm embarassed to admit that I don't get it. Great image but the title doesn't make sense to me. Struggling. My image, entered in this Challenge asks the viewer to connect a dot or two which isn't happening for me and I assume you're having the exact problem??? Good luck just the same...it's a very cool shot.
Nicely done - especially your framing. I get a sense of dissociation between the figure and the background that is a little unsettling - it's simply the depth of field, of course, but it has the effect of making her surroundings feel simply like a backdrop perhaps, rather than a world she is involved in; her berlin 1930's make-up set aginst the nicely ordered georgian architecture perhaps adds to that feeling too. A nice piece of work however, and that point is more interesting than troubling.
Love the colors... the building and her shirt give me a good idea of where she is and why she's there...but the far off stare makes me wonder who she's looking at... it tells a story without giving anything away.
