Critique for RobertB

Cracking set. Terrific variety, good captures, interesting images, very satisfying to see results like this from a workshop. Well done.

Lovely symmetry, like the way you've blasted out the edges to white vignette style. The colour tones of the hair and bath work well together. I'm not sure about the hands, think it would be better without.

Smashing. Maybe just crop an inch of the bottom.

This one bugs me, the colour scheme just does not work for me. Full marks for trying, but....

I'm curious what led you to this, I would have thought the deep reds would have worked well.

I love the shape of the pose and the way the gown is floated across the sofa.

Cool, gentle portrait. I'm not quite convinced about the blurring of the white over Artemis, especially on the left hand side. On the right hand side it looks blown out, rather than soft. Try putting in a little bit of noise into the white, see if that helps.

This shot is brilliant. I would just put a little more detail into the chest bottom right. It might be better with some of the right hand side cropped out - maybe to a square format?

Very nice treatment, well created high-key delicately handled.

Just a presentation note, you've dropped in a white matt around the edge - you need to be careful with that because it depends how the final image is displayed as to whether that works or not. If you submit it elsewhere for viewing - check that the matte works for where it is being displayed.

Very good, some excellent images here, one of the best sets I've seen from a workshop day.

I run regular workshops for beginners and experts alike. I like to run a mix of styles and types. Masterclasses, portfolio builds, technical and artistic sessions available.

Current courses available.
