Great mood shot.

Lovely shot. Could you perhaps lighten his face a little?

Thanks, Jeremy. I could but I don't think it needs it. If I lightened his face where do I stop, should I also lighten the hands?

As always, small jpeg files aren't the best way to judge and view images on screen. In a perfect world I'd perhaps create various versions of the file but life is too short. The file represented here is simply a resized version of the full size file, which is my go to methodology and the basis of all my judgments. I could of course upload a 100% crop of his face, but again, life is too short.

[KLaban]

OK, here's a 100% crop, but even then LuLa might crop the file.

The point is many here won't be viewing on calibrated devices, many will be viewing on phones and tablets, Lord only knows what they will be seeing and frankly I don't think I should care.

Thank you, degrub.

Jeremy, you must have spent too much time in photo clubs' critique sessions

Good shot, Keith!

Thanks, Slobodan, much appreciated.

Slobodan, you are undoubtedly right - and I'm now a judge, which will make me even worse.

Keith, it looks a lot better at 100%. I withdraw my suggestion!

Thanks, Jeremy.

Very powerful image. Every element in this shot is important and contributes fully.
Bravo, really.
