This is part of my 52 week project. Please provide some feedback. Thank you.

Excellent, except for me I find the reflections of what looks like the photographer and a window in the subjects eyes distracting - in that I spent more time wondering what they are rather tan looking at the subject.

Hi Jay-Ar,

Firstly, welcome to the CiC forums from me, great to have you join us.

This is part of my 52 week project.

If you'd like to take advantage of the 2016 Project 52 concept here at CiC, I wonder if you've seen the guidelines here?

If so (and you use this thread for the first 13 weeks), I can add you to this list of people taking part in the Index.

I can re-title this thread if you do wish to follow the concept here, but if your 52 week project isn't directly part of ours, that's fine, we'll just leave everything as it stands.


Moving on to providing feedback; I like your shot, there's not much to improve, although I did wonder about a slight crop from the top and right sides?

I hope that's helpful, Dave

Nice effort.

Thanks. I find them somewhat distracting too. :-D During that time, I had no choice. It was a point and shoot digital camera. Macro shots need to be at a short distance. And that was the angle I was aiming for. So. :-)

Oops. I have not read that yet.

(Reading it now.) I think I can't keep up with the stated guidelines. I am weeks behind my schedule, actually. And I am thinking of changing my project. From "anything monochrome" to "portrait monochrome".

I hope that's helpful, Dave

I can't remember the reason. Maybe to remove some distractions. Again, thank you for that nice welcome and constructive feedback! :-)
