It's been 3 months and 6 days since I bought my 500D! I hope I've been improving just enough to be qualified to take part in SYPA, so I'll need help from you guys! I'm currently 15 this year and still schooling, so I don't have much time to shoot, only a maximum of one day per week! So all C&C is appreciated in order to make full use of the day!
1. In what area is critique to be sought?
2. What one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
In all honesty, make it one qualified enough to take part in SYPA. On the other hand, bring about a "restricted" feeling by the old woman present in the picture via the use of framing.
3. Under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
The picture was taken in B&W from the start since it was a sort of timed trip and pictures had to be shared after the shoot, so it was taken in JPEG! Not much post processing done.
The time of the day was around 11am~12pm, which meant pretty bad lighting conditions (for me) since the sun had a tendency to screw up all the colors. I don't know how to overcome this so.. :dunno:
4. What the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture.
I'm thinking it's an alright photo, but not particularly outstanding. Picture might've looked better with woman facing the camera instead.
1. In what area is critique to be sought?
- Does this picture fit being called as portraiture?
- How could have this shot been improved?
- Would the woman facing me have looked nicer, since the face would've been rather small?
- Does the framing work to give a feeling of the woman a more pitiful, "small" feel?
