From the Critique Club
Hello, Drake,
First of all, I'm so sorry that your entry to "Weather" had to be disqualified. It's a beautiful picture. I'm glad that you are continuing to enter photos.
Your postcard is an interesting shot. When I first looked at it, I saw three things: the kites, the church, and the bridge. I wondered if there was a reason why you included these three. How do the components in this photo add up to "fun in South Haven"?
The blue sky is beautiful. I like the early Spring treeline, and the white house towards the middle peeking through the bridge. I do find the bridge a bit out of place; whitout knowing why it's there, it doesn't make much sense to have it. Also, the bottom 1/10th or so of this picture could be taken out.
Focus and lighting are fine, but I wish the kites were sharper.
The words have a slight "halo" around them. Placement, size, and choice of font is good.
I think your entry would have been more powerful if you had taken the photo from a different position, and/or included something that would illustrate the fun people have when coming to South Haven. And, as an idea for another postcard, I would like to see just the church with such a beautiful sky for backdrop.
Keep up the good work!
Ursula
