i am wondering if the redeye was intentional or accedental. It works for the photo as he has sort of an evil look. I bet people will score low though with such remarks as "ahh bad redeye" heh.
It may be an illusion, but the horizon seems ever so slightly unlevel. A little more snap to the greedy outstretched fingers and this would be a ten from me.
Nice looking young man. Almost looks too young to be involved with corporations, though. I like the color and the focus, and how you got his skin tone ot look right. Something about how he is framed is throwing me off though. Maybe if he were turned slightly to his right, it would feel more balanced. Was the red eye intentional? If so, should've called it "evil corporate takeover." :-)
Clever - the red eye is perfect! I think this might have worked better as a vertical photo instead of a horizontal one. It would remove move of the distracting background.
I think your subject makes a good interpretation of the challenge... however, the redeye doesn't add much for me and the black jacket doesn't contrast well with the backtround in this image. This same subject photographed in a brighter environment with less distractions in the background would work much better for me :) - jmsetzler
too bad they dont allow red eye reduction..the glasses in the background detour the eye away from the subject...maybe a more solid background would help-6
Definitely fits the theme. One problem I have with this photo is the background. Using something resembling an office or a conference room or perhaps him sitting behind a table would have been a lot better. I think this is the first time I've seen someone actually TRY to get red eyes on someone!
This kid SCARES me!! I am assuming the redeye was accentuated to make the point. Did you try different backgrounds or no background at all, this one is too busy for my tasts? When using flash as the main light source pulling the subject away from anything behind them puts the background into darkmess and reduces that glair I see off the back wall of the cabnet. One of my top picks.
I am assuming the red eye to be part of the "feel" of the image, but I would have liked it better without. Would have liked a little closer cropping. The "Corporate" representation is a little off for me - he looks too young to take over anything more than the car keys! lhall
I almost dinged you for the redeye, but, on second thought, it actually makes the subject seem even MORE evil. The coat could fit better though ;) The image itself is "average". I personally hate flashes, and hate what they do to pictures.
Satirical, but I'm having trouble taking this seriously. The age of the poser is in question: Arguably too young to be a banker with power. Also, I 'm guessing you kept the red-eye on purpose to seem devilish. That, I'm afraid, comes off almost a bit kitchy. But idea has potential.
