Experimenting with low light high ISO at a close distance. Amber

lighting used. PS'd. Doing this project for an audio recording

studio. Will have company logo to a yet to be determined location on

the image. Thanks!

Nice to see you are still shooting. Although, I don't know the way to San Jose.

Well done.

I really like the contrast and use of thirds here. Having grown up both in rural USA and urban USA, you have now give me some great ideas to protect my studio rather than the typical ugly metal jail bars. Great shot.

Rule of thirds? It's a nice shot. It moves left to right as most people in the western hemisphere are right handed and view that way. Reversed 180 could creat an unspoken sense of tension. But, that is only my opinion. I like it. A bit of vignetting is subjective. Some will want a perfect pic. Me? I like a little "not so". However, there are some who will like it just the way it is, centered in the X/Y axis. Would have been interesting to see this with a bit of a barrel distortion (via wide angle) which is sometimes not so bad. Just thoughts. Very well done. Sixes for sure.

Very nice. Would make a nice CD cover or insert (since I have done 100's). I am just curious, not a criticism at all, but wonder what this would look like with a hint of sepia. . .just a hint, a smidge, a dash, one iota, just a mite, a pinch, maybe a shred, a fraction of a fragment--a slight touch of brown. Sorry. Got carried away. Wonderful work!

Caught my eye. Nice mystique and highlights. Well done.

I don't drink alcohol. But I would drink this. Excellent!

Nice work and the shot is fine. I do this for a living and get lots of work shooting concerts, artist well known, about to be known, used to be known, and never known. Previous poster is right. It is very hard to get decent ratings on shots like this. Your composition is fine. Nice movement, CR, etc. Often it is what we do not see that makes a shot interesting. Perfect shots normally are not the best as to the X/Y axis. My favorite part of the shot is the red par light reflecting on his face. Keep posting, you are growing in your work and doing great!

Nothing to improve. Great work.

Nice job. For whatever it's worth, you kept the skin tones real, yet smooth without too much detail as I have found that most clients really don't want others to see the imperfections most of us have. I don't know if that was your goal, but was achieved. Great!

Very nice shot. Take this criticism with a grain of salt. I would have liked to seen more DOF, a bit more tight and clean shot of the little boy. Love the tone, CR, and content. He does look like he is tired of pics. Very well done.
