INITIAL RESPONSE: Not specifically appealing to me, a 'documentary' picture.
Composition/Background/Exposure :
I think the light is not very appropriate, it cast very strong shadow and the person it too 'dark'. I would have prefered to see better the face of the person to make it more 'live'.
TECHNICAL : The depth of field is appropriate to show all the elements. You did not oversharpen which I like.
Maybe you could try to adjsut the 'curve' in photoshop to enhance the details in the 'underexposed' part of the picture ?
MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO - I do not like specifically that picure, even for a documentary. to me this picture describe the activity correctly but it miss something that would make it really interesting.
This is a photo I wouldn't be surprised to see in a newspaper. I don't think it's front page material, per se, but I could see it further back in the local or arts pages. I like the way there is some completed work and some work in progress. The only thing that would dramatically help this pic would be the woman's face shown a little better, where she would be a little more easy to recognize if you saw her in the grocery store. Good job - Inspzil
Good subject, but the flash leaves some things too bright and some too dark. I also think I would have cropped out some of the foreground clutter that doesn't add anything to the shot. 6 nards656
Interesting photo. I think this definitely fits the challenge very well. I see a few problems like the exposure of the top left corner is much darker than lower right corner. There's also a strong diagonal line cutting the photo in half which takes a bit away from the photo. I think a flash was used which is why the photo came out like that. I longer exposure and a tripod would have been a good thing to use.
Good title and shot. B & W works well here, but with the paints showing maybe color would have worked better. Love the soft focus. Good composition. Good execution. Nice job. PTL7
