OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: I love the colour and the grain in this image and the close crop is pretty effective. I actually quite like the reflection on the forehead too.
Critical stuff: I'm not sure how well this all hangs together as a concept - the mask, hat and shirt don't really seem to gel and the elastic / string on the mask really needs cloning away.
Overall: Although I appreciated seeing such a conceptual image and I think the technicals are well matched - I think an image such as this lives or dies on the details and one or two of those let the image down. |
