First Impressions
I like the candid nature to this and the focal point and the focus of the fiddler on his fiddling.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Composition wise, I'd like to see more context for this Challenge. The OOF forearm detracts a little, but difficult to get the good focal point you have and include that as well. I wonder whether a fraction darker may have softened the white areas, which, while not blown, seem to dominate the balance slightly, but fairly minor. Again, slightly darker may have brought a little more feel and drama to the textures and facial features. The crop of the hand/fingers detracts, but my guess is you didn't have it to include or you would have. This image is one that I think would be good, if not better?, in b&w.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
12/135, well there ya go - you'd be happy with that, especially with a 5.96. Somebody else noticed the string ends - I like that element too.
Summary
Nice candid, but I wish the face dominated more than the color of the clothing does, but mostly, I'd just like a little more 'street' for this Challenge. |
