I like the composition, although like the others slightly more straight on may be interesting too .. I would also have like to have seen some colour ... this sort of shot benefits from colour.

Hi from the critique club

First impressions
I really like this shot .. but my preference was the first one ... it left more to the imagination .. and teased the mind a little more.

Subject
This meets the challenge, head on ... and streaming away.

Composition
The composition is good, the use of the bullet on the thirds line in excellent ... the words going up the inside of the vertical thirds is excellent.

Technicals
This is very high key .. and for that it works .. I know you have taken on the comments recieved .. and it shows that your orginal worked extremely well .. and sometimes on executing the changes suggested ... it no longer works as well.

The picture has very good focus ... and great motion capture ... there is not as much fluid as the first shot .. and I think this makes a different.

Improving
Stick to the original ... it was great ... it is hard to replicate and get better scores .. unless you are replicating a low scorer in the first place.

Final word
You did great .. took on the comments .. and really made a go of it ... good work .. keep it up.

If you have any comments on this critique feel free to PM me.

OK so this is where you learn that we all have different opinions .. I really love this shot ... it works that you have created a much less distracting background through changing your angle ... it works that the boy is centred .. and I don't normally like centered shots at all ... in addition the light on the carpet is lovely .. the patterns enhanced ... I hope you don't mind I did a minor recrop to correct things like the kiddy centred .... might see a different way ....



Removes the centring and the line of light ... but also keeps the air of mystery on what he is looking at. PS I really liked you other shots as well.

This is a fantastic shot .. I love how you have processed away the distractions .. and really appreciate the capture of the shadow and the child ... I felt on first look it was blown (overexposed) but again .. your processing has dragged me into the picture .. and makes me want to know all the steps and whys and wherefors ... so well done.
