Inside the Cube

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Welcome to DPC! I see this is your second challenge entry! Doing better than I did in my first two challenges, LOL!

I loved this shot when it came up for the challenge. Inside the cube, what a concept! The lighting, from reading your notes was amazing, I thought it was studio lighting from building. Simply amazing that you got it as balanced as you did. There are a few hot spots but that's to be expected. A little more light on the CD's that are laying on the table might have bumped your score just a bit, the seem a bit darkened compared to the rest. The overall composition seems just a bit off to me for some reason. Maybe if you had cropped it just a touch more on the right side, bringing the rest more into the center possibly?

The colors are great as is the overall set up. I hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges.

Wow, I'm the last person to be critiquing you, LOL! But here goes, obviously the lack of focus on the jacket patches jumps out at you right away. Not sure if it's camera shake or what. The pose, the overall composition is fantastic. For a split second when it first came up in the challenge I thought it was Tom Cruise, LOL! :) The only other thing that bothers me is the reflections in his glasses and his shirt. The lighting is well done, the look is perfect.

Hope my comments help and Good Luck in Future Challenges.

Oh how I wanted to tear some of those cubes apart, oh wait, I have, LOL! Great idea, good execution, wonderful DOF, just seems a tad, just a very tiny tad dull on the colors, otherwise, excellent. An 8

The belt

I have a belt like this one in my house! It's not mine mind you but it's here, LOL! I like the idea, the simplicity of the shot and the lines in the way they lead you around the shot. Very nice indeed. An 8

Very cute! Love the attitude and the pose and clothes. A touch more make up to really bring out her eyes would have made this close to perfect! :) An 8

Very interesting perspective! I almost feel dizzy when I look at it, LOL! Good color, excellent clarity, just at touch brighter and it would be close to perfection! An 8

ROFLMAO! I LOVE IT!! And the fact that Tom Cruise is such a dog now, so perfect! If it wasn't for that light glare on the left side this would get a 10 from me, as is a 9!@

LOL! Very cute! Love the idea and well done overall! The lighting is lacking though for me, just a bit more "POP" if you will! :) A 7

Pac Man Fever

Oh how many hours I spent playing that game, to get them back. Good concept for the challenge, nice shot overall, I like the set up, though the "Joystick?" (I think that is what it's supposed to be) in the middle doesn't look quite right for some reason, like there should be a ball on the end of it or something. The angle is a good idea here though the bit of extra black in the upper right is a bit distracting, maybe a slightly tighter crop on that side? A 7

Been there done that..........Lost the T-shirt

Okay, first of all, you NEVER lose the T-shirt, they are with you for life, I know, got several of them myself, LOL!

Good idea overall, nice concept, good execution on the idea, though the JW is a bit overpowered by the guitar and to me they should be on a more equal basis. Also the smoke could mean several things, hehehe :) Nice colors, good lighting overall, a 7
