Hi from the Critique Club
First impressions of this are that it's just a shot of a picture. Indeed the title tells us it's money. This accounts for the low score, it's DNMC for many people.
As for the shot, the shallow DOF works well. You've chosen the focus area wisely although I can't help thinking this would have been even better if the mouth were OOF too (maybe focus just down the left corner where it currently is do give the shot some dimension?). The eyes and nose have a certain mystique to them that I like.
Overall good use for shallow DOF but missed the challenge for the most part. |
