Inspired by the new Bond in Casino Royale. Had the chips, had the air gun and made the silencer out of a couple of ABS fittings. Loved the new movie. Why not. This was my first challange so I don't expect anything spectacular, just some good thoughts and insight on what could help me get better, and improve the picture. It was difficult to set the timer and then run into the picture, but I finally found one I liked. Only thing that hurt the most I guess was the hand. I did fix it though with all the comments. Here is the fixed hand:
The adjustment to the blown highlight on your hand definitely strengthens this shot. My eye went straight to the hand when I voted (I gave this a 6), due to it being the brightest area in the shot. I still think it is a bit bright in relation to the highlights on the face, but overall I think this was a very strong entry, and something you should be proud of.
Nice shot buddy, well composed and definately met the challenge head on wich is of course critical to do well in challenges here. Main problem here would be the lighting, it´s not bad at all but a little too strong on the hand and chips. A good tip would be to keep the lighting simple while you are figuring it out, the most natural lighting will come from above from maybe a 45 degree angle as that is how we usually see people lit, the sun and lightbulbs usually come from an above angle :)
This has to be one of the best in the challenge. I appreciate the time and effort in this. The hand is a bit over exposed but so what. Nice job and good luck.
Gorgeous model and cool set up. For some reason though, it appears to lack some contrast, or rather, the blacks and shadows appear murky. Otherwise an awesome shot, great work!
Great expression on a handsome man. Nice wardrobe and props. Very believable James Bond. Not sure how to do it, but the blacks could be richer and deeper.
