Greetings from the Critique Club

I think you scored fairly well with this pic, although I'm sure you would have liked a slightly higher score.

I believe this is a very good Self Portrait, so well done. The lighting is very well done, which creates a good atmosphere. Somebody commented about the chair back being distracting, and I have to say I tend to agree to some extent as it is only really visible on one side of the frame. This is only a minor nitpick though and I don't think had a huge impact on your score.

I am not really sure what you could have done differently to secure a higher placing/score. Perhaps it just doesn't have enough of the WOW factor needed to win on DPC.

Nice lighting. The section of chair behind the male subject is distracting.

They genuinely seem to be relaxed posing, but I don't really like the lighting in this shot. Good focus on the glasses.

Lovely - (It's a shame you didn't swivel the chair-backs out of frame).
