Hey guys!

Haven't posted here in a while. =D hope everyone had an awesome christmas and an even better new years coming (:

So here's my new collage up for critique. I'm really getting into the lack of color captures lately.

Image of Tom Ward, Australian based classical guitarist.

uh-huh, man if I had a dollar for everytime I saw that on a forum (btw not having a dig at you here Marcus)

So here's my new collage up for critique.

First impression...great idea, however the more I look at it the less I like it, it just comes across as 4 very similiar shots, now I might be missing something due to my lack of classical guitar knowledge but...

The image caption, way too big, the caption should compliment the image not over power or compete, in this case it competes imo.

In terms of the images, I reckon ditch two of them and replace them with 1) a tightly cropped facial shot 2) a tight shot on the hand, slight blurring on the hand due to movement. Including some different compos gives the viewer much more to look at and different perspective rather than slightly different of the same same.

The BW conversion is spot on though good blacks and crisp whites.

I should get off my arse and post some more pics myself....but anyhow....great stuff....with Gerry...ditch two of them and make the caption smaller!
