Some of my B&W - Critiques welcome

[JDP]

Here's a few of the B&W shots that I like, and one selective colored one! Critiques are always welcome, and be brutal.


1. The Watcher
Love this shot, but I still haven't gotten the faux bokeh right yet with regards to around him - but I love how chunky it is

i am usually not a fan of selective coloring, but i am partial to sushi in many respects. good stuff.

I like #1, but the hightlights in #2 are WAY blown out. The sushi one is cool. The third one is kinda..eh.. I just don't think it's a good subject and it's focused kina...odd.

Keep at it!

I really like the concept in number 2, I didn't notice the blown out of in the picture until Weaving Wax mention it. The rest of the shot are good but number 2 stand out because of it creativity.
