INITIAL RESPONSE: Quick spontaneus shot. Some blue. Technical flaws (composition)
COMPOSITION-CONTENT - The composition is not very good I think. as it is , it does not tell us anything. Too bad because the expression looks promising. If it is your originial idea of composition then it should show the the person in full or you might get closer. the picture is 'tilted' without bringing anything special. (see very good comment of derekleung about the composition of your shot)
BACKGROUND : Would have deserved to be more blurred as its not very interesting to 'detacht' the person more.
CAMERA WORK-TECHNICAL- It's probably a 'passing shot' (pun not intended) but it would have been really better if you could have had time to copose the shot better.
DIGITAL PROCESSING - TECHNICAL - Looks a little noisy and maybe oversharpen a little.
MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO - The person was a good candidate for a nice 'people shot' if you could have take your time. As it is I think it's a little 'missed' even if you had the eye to see the potential of this person.
The lighting here is quite harsh on the trees in the upper right and on the side of this mans face. the focus is also a bit soft for my tastes. it seems to have a very noticable left tilt. I do like how you have both the feeling blue and the color blue in the shot. Good luck in the challenge.
This is almost a documentary shot. However, it doesn't document nor tell a story strong enough to let the viewer share this gentleman's "blueness". He doesn't seem to look sad or down. To my eyes, he looks tired. Also, you have included the tree in the background which covers almost 50% of your shot. Several suggestion: 1. A close-up shot on the gentleman's face. The gentleman's looks and expression can tell a thousand stories. 2. If the person is sitting down, include his feet. By the look of his attire, his shoes would also tell a different story. 3. If you follow n° 2, vertical crop the shot and disregard (or blur) the background. Nonetheless, you have a good eye in spotting the moment and your subject, only let down by a few technicalities. 5.
I definately see blue in this man but I wonder if you could have shown more of his surrounding to give a better idea of his isolation. (although perhaps that was not possible if there was too much commotion in the surrounding area). The only other suggestion would be to place him a bit more out of the center of the shot so he was more to the left or right.
