:star::star::star::star::star: Impact

This is my first critique, and I hope you like it! (tend to chatter, so I hope I don't bore you!)

Vision: 4 1/2 stars. This is simply because this could be interpreted several different ways. The photo would have the same impact I believe, but it doesn't completely say what the title says. I still love it though, and the vision/idea was a great one.

Originality: A 5 stars!!! I've seen hospital photos before, but does this even count as one? It is so different. I LOVE how the headphones cord is red, like blood. Music and blood, I like this combo. The blood of the soul being music, I'll assume that's what you meant right? If it is truly what you were seeing I understood it, and I hope others do to. It's fantastic.

Technique: 4 1/2 stars again. (I hate giving out less the 5 star ratings, I really do!): This is because, while he's perfectly in focus, and all that is fine, the shadows from the cords are a little...distracting (no, I don't mean THAT), I mean, because of the way you're set up your lighting, they cast more than one shadow on his face/body. I don't know how much this was possible to avoid, but it can become a little confusing to the eye, taking away from the otherwise simple (perfect) shot. The three tubes didn't really confuse be, because this isn't suppose to be a medical explanation, it's stylistic in the VERY BEST sense of the word.

Impact: 5 stars again! (how could it get anything but?) Is that pain, or peace written on his face? (I haven't decided yet). The music, is it coming from, or going to his heart from his head. The impact is amazing, it really is. The photo is almost creepy, but beautiful all the same, I like that.

Ok, that was probably long enough (100 word min...I stopped at 350 hmm... Anyway, I hope this was helpful. Work on your light/shadow thing, otherwise perfection.

Coming from a musician who feels like this photo a lot...music in the soul!
