 I know this isn't a masterpiece or anything, but I wanted to enter a challenge because I've been so inactive (on DPChallenge) lately, and this photo pretty much sums up how I'm feeling so far this semester. Plus I thought the title was a cute play on words.

*************
hmm, I would've never thought to crop it, but I guess it does look better that way

IMO to much of empty space on top. Cropping it would give use of rule of thirds!

Too much black at the top makes the picture feel top heavy, but the exposure at the bottom is great, a crop without the top half looks great.

Maybe this might benefit from a tighter crop? Like the tones and the clean looking image.

Nice use of negative space. Helps to create a mood here.

For a reason I cannot explain this shot has power to it.

nice angle but I think this would be better with a square crop. 5

Subject needs more lighting. I think your intent is to keep the subject dark but its just too much.

a good portrait, could be cropped at the top to get rid of all that useless negative space though.

not a bad shot...could probably lose some of the negative space above though

Nice low key image. Could maybe do with a bit of a crop at the top.

The lighting seems to be to little, and I feel a little lost when viewing this one.
