COMPOSITION
I like the tight framing of this shot. I think that it adds to that "left behind/alone" feeling. I almost think it could have been tighter on the left side and still been effective, or maybe a little bit wider on the right. The bars give an interesting captive feeling to it. I think they could have been used to really frame the shot if you had included one on the far left. Otherwise, I think the one on the right could be cropped out because it makes the shot feel rather off-balanced to me.
The choice of subject works well here. From what I know about Pink Floyd, this shot is probably fairly well representative of the song. :-) You're models have done well at looking surprised/shocked.
TECHNIQUE
The focus and lighting is right on in this shot. I like the low perspective, but I think a high perspective, with the camera pointing down to the subjects, would have given it an even more "behind bars" feeling, as it would have made the viewer feel "above" the scene.
I have found that if I can't get skin tones to look like i want, black and white works well. I am not sure if this picture would be more effective, or less, but it would even the colors out, and you wouldn't have to worry about the "pinkness."
OVERALL EFFECT
I find the expression on the faces humorous. I am not sure if this is what you wanted or not, but if so, great work. If not, ummm, maybe they could have been looking more reflective or something. I also think that just having one of the people in the shot would have worked as well. Though this shot is not one that I would hang on my wall, I do think it works very well in this challenge, and I could see it being cover art for an album of this nature. Best of luck in future challenges. |

| Some scary looking people. Definately looks pink floyd-ish. Angle and framing/cropping are very nice. The focus and clarity are also very good. Lighting is just fine, no blown out spots or distracting shadows. Good luck in the challenge. |

| Very humourous expressions, they both look like 2 school kids who have been left behind by mistake after a school trip..."Don't leave us here".... |

| I'm laughing! I don't know that this was your desired effect, but these people look so emotive and perhaps surprised that it makes me laugh! I love this! |

| Very good photo. The partial hand, on the right side, is a bit distracting. However, everything else works quite well. Composition, color, lighting are good. The expressions really work well. 8 |
