 I got this little toy from a cereal box. I shot it against a canvas with a spot at a low angle on the figure. I used a long exposure.

Critique Club Review

This image meets the challenge, as it is defiently over exposed. However, the large bright area on the right side of the image is very distracting, and seems not to serve a purpose. I see you raised the ISO, and used a longer shutter opening to get the over exposure. I think the higher ISO gave you the noise and grain that appear here. More light, with a lower ISO and shorter exposure could help here.

Had the mask been a little darker, it would have stood out more. If you look at some of the higly ranked entries you can see what I mean.

I do like the mask, and the expression on the mask. I think you have something to work with here.

I wish to comment, but this evokes a sort of yes and no response in me. There's a good graphic idea, but maybe it needs sharper lines, or more attention to the quality of light coming through the mask...

All that and overexpose too? Nice try :)

Meets the challenge, and there's a certain element of humor here which I like, but I'm not resonating with the subject and the pp. Sorry.

Technically this meets the challenge, but from an artistic point of view this is pretty lacking.
