Thanks for all the kind words, I think I really learned a lot on this one. John was such a good sport. I will continue to practice portrait shots, as they are quite fun.
this is a good shot, but my eyes are draw to the two "horns" of hair sticking up. Maybe a shot like this with those hairs in place, or more of his hair spiked up. I like the softness of this.
interesting pose/subject/environment. more light on his face, and getting those all important catch lights in his eyes would improve this.
On an aside.. the border needs work :)
not sure what to make of this ...the focus is soft but it looks good on this shot...i do like the b/w...i think the shadows on the wall from the plant are distracting
I realize thisshot is posed, but you were able to really capture something candid here. A great subject. I think you're going to do really well with this one. Good luck!
Lighting is good but I think it could have done with a little more of a contrast boost as the black and white is a fairly even tone. Your border is also... strange.
The contrast looks very flat in this - no real whites or blacks making for a quite subdued feel. The pose and lighting look good on the subject - the plant could maybe have been moved ?
