ct8282 Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Sameer and his guitar I love this. The lighting is very atmospheric. Great stuff, except for me the highlights on the guitar sound board are a bit too bright. It feels out of context with the rest of the image and really distracts my eye as I try to study the rest of the image. If that's what you were looking for then fair enough, if not then its easy to drag back of course. Top work. Nov 23, 2012 at 06:42 PM

Michaelparris Offline • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · Sameer and his guitar To me the there is too much reflection on the guitar and not enough detail in the face.....that's just me though. My eyes are continually being pulled to the brightest spot in the pic, in this case the reflection Nov 23, 2012 at 06:47 PM

My eyes are continually being pulled to the brightest spot in the pic, in this case the reflection Exactly my thoughts. The light on the face is important and you do need to avoid the reflection. Sorry, but this would be a shot I'd work on a bit more. Nov 23, 2012 at 07:06 PM

Steady Hand Offline • • • • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Sameer and his guitar Howdy, As far as a reflection being bad, I feel differently than some others above. I think a reflection can be a very clever and interesting part of an image if done with some care and depending upon the subject, composition, and what is shown in the reflection. Also, having the lightest part of an image away from a face is not necessarily a bad thing either, depending upon what YOU want the viewer to see or notice first. What would I do differently? A few things, but here is the simplest to correct: See the reflection. Notice the rays. Are those the spokes of an umbrella? If so, try to avoid showing them in the final image. I hope these comments help you. Nov 24, 2012 at 03:06 PM

Achilles2010 Offline • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Sameer and his guitar The composition has very good feel to it overall, but I have to agree with previous posters about lock of detail on the face and reflection on guitar which really bothersome to me since I can see the umbrella rods in it.

Shootmegul Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · Sameer and his guitar really appreciate the feedback, less light on the face is intentional for this one. I have a variant with light on face. Personally I like this. Now working on the guitar and tackling the spokes (rays) Nov 24, 2012 at 05:05 PM

twragg Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Sameer and his guitar The face and eyes do not always need to be lit, especially if that's not the focus of the photo. I get what you are trying to do here, and I like it. To me it's more of a boy embracing his guitar and fondness for music, it's not a head shot portrait. I agree with previous posters though, the guitar is slightly too bright distracting the overall mood, and good call on the spokes form the umbrella, I was wondering what that was :-) Overall I like it, and look forward to seeing an resubmit if you wish to do so. Thanks for sharing. Nov 24, 2012 at 05:16 PM
