Midwest – March 2023 – Portrait/Illustration

Judges Comments

1st — Such a fun portrait! You did a great job of capturing the essence of the person in his environment. It put a smile on all of our faces. 2nd — This was a creative use of a mirror and reflection; unlike most which are head on, this allowed for more environmental details to remain in the frame. 3rd — Well lit, nice color palette, solid environmental portrait. We thought this could've been improved if the curtains were a bit more balanced, or if the foreground could've been made cleaner.
