Good use of negative space

Great photo! Would have been that much better if the soda can wasn't there!

Is missing? Great use of dead space. This should do very well.

Very effective, minimalist - Difficult to get a sense of depth/perception here - it almost looks like he's playing to a vertical wall! - But, I like the overall effect, nice composition/placement of the subject as well.

Great concept! Love the overall effect. I however don't think that you need as much negative space as you included. I think you would have a more powerful image if the model and guitar took up roughly 1/4th the image. Just my oppinion. Oh by the way. That's an impressive border. Really big!

Simple but effective. Not sure about shooting from behind though. Good work!

subj draws line of sight out of pic... could have been improved by shifting to the right about 1/3

I like when a shot tells a story. This one does. Good use of negative space and texture to add interest to the scene.

Great use of negative space. Torn about the lack of color - is it water or sand?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/18/2005 06:35:23 AM
Very nice. I like it, except for the can thing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/17/2005 08:52:24 PM
i like your use of a long lens to compress the image, and use the guitarist as scale reference. pleasing photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/17/2005 07:48:36 PM
the reflection on the water really makes your foreground pop. Good on ya.

I'd like this better if he was on the far right side instead.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like this shot, despite the lack of an audience. A difficult exposure has been handled well, and the composition is very effective. I like the dash of red the coke can provides.

reminds me of O.B. in San Diego

very gray overtone.... the blast of blue on his shirt is almost distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I really like how the musician seems to be playing for the love of music rather than the love of performing for an audience. Great job.

Simple statement. His busy shirt helps bring your eye to him.
