Question: What do you think of this photograph!? ( everyone click me )!?
http://flickr!.com/photos/27145979@N02/27!.!.!.

It was taking a photo in Shamu studio, and this is what the lens focused on, i didn't delete it because i thought it was funny, and was captured for a reason!. How do you critique this photo!? what are your opinions!? Oh, and i know it would have been better if he turned around, but this was just spontaneous!. Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
i like the frame

critique!? it a snap shot!. its a snap shot of the back of someones head that you didnt plan or intend, ok why not have the model straighten their shoulders next time!?


EDIT: what the lens focused on!? - i dont get it, on Auto it will tend to focus on whats in the center of your frame, try taking control and selecting where YOU want the focus - letting the camera make decisions isnt image making its image taking

HI Nathan,

Ok!.!.!.!. to critique your shot!.

I really like the contrast in colors!.!.!.!. the blue, white and grey are very interesting and pleasing to the eye!.

To me, this is just not a picture of the back of a man's head!. What it actually does for me is ask, "What does this guy look like!?" I am drawn to want to know what the face is like that goes with that very nicely cut wavy grey hair!.

I think the picture works because of how it is cropped!. You don't show what is in the water or any other elements in the background!. You may not have done it intentionally but the picture does make the viewer curious about who that man is!.!.!. and that is one of the things photos should do!.

Good job!. Take another look at the photo and see if you don't agree with me!.

Thanks for reading!.

I agree that the color and exposure is good!.

But there is something that is unexpectedly visually disturbing to me about this image!. It's something about his hair!. I think it's the detail of his slightly greasy hair!. I don't know, it's strange -- I find it disturbing to look at!. Kind like the visual equivalent of chalk on a black board!.

also, more formally, it feels cropped wrong to me!. The scale just doesn't feel right to me!. It should either be cropped more or less!.

Hey, you asked!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't like it!.!.!.!.!.it's the back of a guy's head!. Don't get me wrong, its very well shot!. The colors and exposure are great, and the depth of field is nice!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.but it's the back of a guy's head! LOLWww@QuestionHome@Com

It's bad!.

There's no subject!. He doesn't have to be facing you, but he's not doing anything!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

i don't let people get in the way of my shots, but to each their own i suppose!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like it! haha i like how his hair goes at the back!.
Nice random photo - stick it in your portfolioWww@QuestionHome@Com

nice backgound!. I might have liked it more if the man was father back and his head was slighty turned!. but what do i know!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
