Friday Photo Critique is our weekly community project, where we publish a photograph submitted by one of our wonderful readers, then ask you all to offer constructive feedback on the image. It’s a great way to learn more about photography, express your viewpoint, and have your own image critiqued!
Quick Ground Rules
- Play nice! We’ve deliberately chosen photographs that aren’t perfect, so please be constructive with any criticism.
- Feel free to offer any type of advice – composition, lighting, post-processing etc.
- You can also link to photographs that you feel offer a great example of this type of image shot exceptionally well.
Without further ado, here is this week’s candidate for Friday Photo Critique!
The Photograph
Photo Details & Inspiration

- 52mm full frame equivalent
- f/4
- 1/20
- ISO 1600
I have very recently started into photography with my point-and-shoot camera. I was capturing the architectural designs of the monument that I was visiting when I saw the role lights played inside the place. I saw a kid walking by, and he made up for a great contrast. That is when I made this picture.
To me, the image is about vitality of light. While the light is bursting with energy, the kid seems to be gloomy and lost in his thoughts.
