Dear kteach,
I thank you very much for your critique. I really need that since I am not experienced. You have given some great ideas for making good photo that will be useful for future challenge and my personal photo taking.
I appreciate you for your time to critique my photo. You are a great teacher.
First Impression: The face and feet on this one are very easy to spot though there are a few extra "parts" to the head. I do like though that the extras are a bit out of focus though (but there isn't a super sharp part of the shot that I can pick out). Oh, and his eyebrows look a little funny, and I can't tell if that bump should be a nose or a funny mustache! I kind of like the neon green since it adds a nice splash. I don't really get the ring in the front though. I wonder if "sad" is the right emotion for this little guy... confused or surprised at what's in his path perhaps?
After reading about the shot: Yes, I agree... this little guy needed some extra drama. I wonder if some creative lighting could have helped to make this more dramatic... a spotlight on the ring perhaps? Some interesting lighting on the face? Or perhaps giving this a different crop would have worked, allowing more space on the sides and top.
I hope this critique was helpful. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to PM me. I see from your profile that you have returned from a 2 year hiatus... so welcome back to DPC and good luck in your future challenges!
