Remember:
–Read How to Critique a Photo
–Make a critique sandwich – something positive, something you would have done differently, something positive
–My rule: no improvement tip = deleted comment
–This will benefit the person leaving the photo critique just as much if not more than the person receiving the critique.
Thanks to Rachel McConoughey for submitting the following image.
Setting: ISO 200, f/2.5, SS 1/80
Beautiful. The blue eye looks to be so crystal clear . . inviting. The child’s innocence is present. My eye is first drawn to models ear. With the peak of the eyelashes from the hidden eye, I would have liked to seen more of the face. . . turned toward the camera a bit more.
LOVE this photo. It’s soft and sweet. I love the captured moment. The only thing I’d like to see is less color on his skin and more color on his eye. It would be fun to have it all in black and white with that one pop of color. Beautiful.
I love the profile in this picture. I would’ve loved to have seen it cropped in more and/or black and white to accentuate it.b It was a really beautiful compisition.
I love the mood and feel of this image. It feels soft like the young child himself. The beautiful blue eye really grabs my attention and I think the image might be better if it included a bit more of the eye. Also, and I realize that this is mostly personal preference but I think I would warm it up a bit also. Nice choice of aperture to enhance the nice, soft feeel!! Well done!
Beautiful photo! I want to know what he’s looking at. I think I’d try to increase the contrast around his eye just slightly so his eyelashes stand out a bit more and draw the viewers eye right to his beautiful blue ones. Love the soft, light feel to this image.
The look on his face is so sweet! I love the airy feel of this image. I think his moody stare could be even stronger if there was a crop of some of his head out of the frame with more of a focus on his eye. Great image!
I really like the composition and the moment captured. I would love to see more of those beautiful blue eyes, or at least maybe sharpen the eye area to draw more attention there. It’s a very precious picture.
What a soft and beautiful photo. Love the lighting and composition. It seems his ear is sharper than his eye. My eye is first drawn to the ear. I would increase the contrast a tiny bit and may be sharpen the eye lashes a little. It is a great photo and he is a great model!
What a beautiful, soft picture! I love the composition and lighting. In my opinion maybe you could have showed a bit more of his eyes or sharpen them a bit to bring more focus onto them. It’s a really beautiful picture!
