Light vs. Dark - An Epic Battle

I really like the DOF with the blurred foreground and sharp background. The lighting is overall good, however it would be better if the top of the background king was better lit. The reflections on the chess board are distracting, looks like they could have been avoided by making your light source bigger, either by a large diffusion sheet or by moving the light closer.

What are the black/white/brown columns on the sides of the photo? Is that part of the architecture? They are very distracting.

I know you don't have any control over it but the off-center light above the door looks strange to me.

My initial reaction to the photo was that it is technically very nice but not very interesting. Coming back to it later it grabbed me a little more and the more I look at it the more I like it.

The image looks a little soft to me. Especially the window and upper shutters.

Cute boys. The face on the upper boy is a little over-exposed. The background is also a little distracting, the photo would be greatly improved by adding a shallower DOF so the background was not in focus.

Two lumps of sugar please!

The whole photo is OOF and the lighting is a little harsh. Because of the bright lighting it's difficult to see much definition in the sugar cubes.

This looks snapshot-ish. It might look a little better with a tighter crop but even then since you are really only seeing one face full on and a little side view on 2 others I'm not sure it would make it more interesting.

The lighting is a little harsh and very flat. This photo would look a lot better with a little side soft lighting to get rid of the hard shadows under the chins. The faces are also a little OOF.
