team ciocc II

part of an advertising campaign (going for an urban feel)

critique is much appreciated

Art,

This is excellent. The colors and composition really draw attention to the team. There are only a couple of things that I will comment on.

I wish the guy on the right had his left hand tucked under his right upper arm so that it would match the rest of the team. His different pose draws attention to him.

I like the depth of field, but I would like to see how it would look to have a narrow depth of field so that more attention would be put on the team. I would just like to compare the two. Right now it seems a little busy. There is a lot going on behind them. They sort of blend into it.

Maybe it is common for this type of team, but looking at the picture makes me wonder why some guys have white shoes and some have black. Why not all the same? Maybe I just notice strange things?

I love the writing in the foreground. It balances the logo and information on the lower left very well.

Nice shot, 

Mark

Nice publicity image Art. You need to correct the horizont a little bit, I think its tilted to the right side. Well done my friend. Best regards!

Thanks Mark and Anuar. I appreciate the feedback. Much of what you say is spot on, Mark. I too wish I had the forethought to have used a greater focal length to provide me with more options for this. Funnily enough I did have my other camera set up with a 200mm lens which I   used for some other shots on the day. It just didn't occur to me at the time to use it here.

Anuar, you're right about the horizon. Actually I have corrected it but have followed the line of the gate behind them and not the footpath. They are actually standing on a down hill slope.

Again. thank you both for your constructive feedback

Nice advert Art.  Very well composed and shot.  warm regards, Gail
