Really like this, something on his right cheek seems like it is over compressed in the lighting, but great use of chiaroscuro.
meh probably some lazy photoshop work on my behalf while lamely trying to add some light to his cheek so he didn't have a disembodied iris on that side of his head. I appreciate your comments and more importantly your use of the term 'chiaroscuro'.
That makes me giggle just a little. I think its amazing that J is going to have a photo diary of his life.. with quality photos. What a gift he is..and you are to him. Beautiful capture of a beautiful wee man.. you can see what he is growing into here.
an exceptional portrait, technically it's excellent. The crop bothers me slightly though, it's a halfway house between a really close crop and a full head shot. I think maybe going slightly closer in would have more impact? I really like the compostion with the negative space though, it worls really well with the shot
The light side/shadowed side is a great look for portraits, it really gives the effect of looking into the persons soul. The eyes are great here...they're not over the top like some of the entries. Well done!
I like these sort of dramatic face shots and I do a number of them myself. Thing I don't care for here which I feel pulls the shot down is the composition. The lower right corner of the shot spoils the effect for me by introducing more shapes and tones to an otherwise stark capture. Maybe more top of the head, less below the chin. Just my opinion.
