::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Wow ... hmmmm .. ok nice body.

Composition:
I think this suits this shot. I feel personally it is really centred .. and I am not a fan of this .. but for this shot it seems to work well. You have good position of the face .. and the lighting seems to work showing good body definition.

Subject:
meets the challenge ... and does so in a huge way.

Technical (Colour and light):
ok .. hard to say really .. its red .. got to be red .. .and shows read. ... it is really sharp .. and still red. you can see the water spots on the stomach ...

To grow its vote?:
I really don't know .. I took a look at the others .. and they seemed a little more 'real' to me .. if you know what i mean ... picking a theroretical place could be a minor issue .. but you depicted it well.

Summary:
Great shot .. well done.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via
the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

This pose is like the "strong man" at the circus, without the barbells. You're kinda cute, ya know it??

terrific expressiveness from the model. I'd say the "Hell" was his own anger. 8

JP this is really good! (Bet you didn't think anyone would recognize you!) Love the background - nice symmetry too. Well done!

I think you should have that molar checked by a dentist! ;-) Seriously, a well done image. Good concept. The redish area on the lower right (my right) body seems a bit odd on my monitor. Sort of "splotchy". Otherwise, I like it!

I am convinced!!!! Wow, I'm glad I cancelled my reservation when I was six years old. (John 3:16, It's not just for football games!)
