I'm not sure if the lighting and the coloring fits the subject. I think it would have been more effective if you would have used light from the side. That way the skin would have more shadows and more contrast and the wrinkles were more visible. This would increase the old look. Also black & white would be better in my opinion. I also would like to see more of the person. A portrait would be nicer. Anyway. Despite of all that. overall I still think it's a nice photo. -stephan
Very good, is this from one of those swivel lens cameras? Seems very yellow and orange, esp. the forehead area. Suggestion: move the light to the other side, I think the eye reflection might have worked out better. A face that has earned it's lines, very courageous of you! (are you autool?) 8 Swash
Interesting :) I read your comments on this photo earlier in the forums... I think the composition on this photo would be better if the eye was located in the upper left third of the frame. The yellow tinting is a 'neat' effect but I don't really see what it adds to the photo. It doesn't 'take away' but it's not really a value-added enhancement for me. I also think that some more sharpness would accent the wrinkles and 'age' attributes of the face... good shot :) - jmsetzler
I like the capture of detail, and it is an interesting picture. However the yellow cast detracts from it for me. If it was on purpose, I apologize, if not, trying adjusting white balance or a different kind of lighting. karmat
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - good/high
Wow - talk about a striking image. That yellow tint has to be intentional - it's very strong indeed. The focus seems just a little off - was this a very close-in crop of a larger photo?
You are so close to having a fantastic photo. Maybe if the light were even less direct so as highlight the edges. I like the crop. Great focus. It's a little yellow, to (Or you have jaundice! ha ha) Have you tried palying wiht your white balance?
hehehe, funny idea! i wonder if you deliberately chose the yellowish light, IMHO it doesn't really add to the shot. also seems slightly soft, running it through unsharpen mask once helps. -- gr8photos (4)
