Thank you for the feedback! I definitely should have thought about the symmetry in my photo when capturing it. I knew the fabric on the left didn’t sit right with me, but I wasn’t quite sure what to do about it!
No problem, still a good photo and i’m glad you found the feedback useful.
Thank you, Karl, for your spot-on critique. Extremely helpful and eye-opening. I appreciate your time and expertise!
Thank you for commenting and glad you found it useful.
Thanks Karl for that huge effort in not only commenting so many portraits but also suggesting improvements! I learned a lot from that extensive critique session. Also the suggestion to work a lot with curve layers was very valuable.
All the best, Elmar
Thanks glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for your words; your honest criticism was very helpful. I expected nothing less from your academy.
Thank you.
The B&W option was a consideration for my portrait.
Fantastic show, with a lot of really great images submitted. Many of them, I thought, I would love to be able to do that.
👍
Dear Karl, thank you — much appreciated. Powder is back in the jacket pocket 😉 Crop is fixed. And please thank your team as well — great as always.
👍
Thanks for the comment and I’m trying to learn something from it that will certainly work out.
Great critique Sir! I really needed that. I saw you posing for some portraits and loved that lighting, but I clearly did not get my lighting right. So, this critique was really necessary and very helpful for me.
👍
Thank you very much for your feedback – and for all the effort you put into improving so many individual photos!
Much appreciated thank you.
I am fascinated with low-key and high-key photography. This was my first time making it happen. The photos has very basically editing as I am still learning. Please do critique as I would like to improve myself.

He let me grow my hair long to my shoulders when we (I was 9 )were stationed at Petawawa army base in Ontario ,Canada , and gave me my first camera …

I always try to convey the personality of the subject, although this is naturally highly personal and subjective. In this picture I felt that looking away from the camera captured something quite different from looking straight at it.
Thanks for your expert critique, I need it to improve and grow.
