Greetings from the Critique Club
I'm going to start off by saying CONGRATS on a well deserved win. This photo of your Dad reminds me of Michael Landon and Little House on the Prairie.
I don't think there is any question you definately fit the challenge well. Your lighting, dof are all good.
Your sky is adding drama to the photo and truthfully there isn't anything I would change, unless I was to start nitpicking at silly things like the two blades of grass that cut your dad apart. I might clone those out or put a little bend into one of them.
Again congrats on the ribbon and keep up the wonderful work.
Anna |

There was a very cloudy sky that day and the shapes were made bolder with dodging and burning. Glad you dug it :-)

I think this is one of your best photos to date. Atleast for me the emotion is intense in this photo and the viewer gets a strong sense of compassion or interest for the subject. For you to have been able to envision this shot before you ever got to the field speaks clearly of your destiny and genius.

hmmmm. Gotta say that as a photo I really loved this one...thought the mood, the pose, the entire setting and composition was fantastic. But I didn't peg this as a winner for this particular challenge. Too much emphasis on the grunge, and I think the grain doesn't look natural...it didn't blend well with the other processing techniques, in my humble little opinion.
You know I love your work, but I think you got some brownie points on this one because it was obviously your pic. Dont get me wrong, it's a fantastic image....just think it finished higher than it should. I'd LOVE to see this photo processed in other ways, because the whole idea of the shot is just fantastic.
In any case, congrats on another win. |

| Gritty drama! The extreme persepective just adds so much to the story of this image! Love the pose, the attitude, the grain. Only drawback for me is the darkening on the edges of the house and horizon--just a tad too much toward the grunge side. Nonetheless, one of my top pics for the challenge. Good luck! |

|
|
10/30/2005 11:03:01 AM |
| If this doesn't win, I'm sure something else will. Anyway...this is a good shot. The graininess isn't overpowering but evident enough to be effective. Overall the shot is dark but this doesn't result in a detrimental loss of detail. The mood that I'm sure you were working to achieve is achieved admirably. Well done...something tells me we will all be seeing this shot for the next week or so. |

| 8 - Good use of grain for the Challenge, adds to the 'drama' and 'story'. Criticism; not much, perhaps an even sharper angle (ground up), giving the man more 'dominance' and setting the 'house' back a little perspective wise, may have made this a better shot in my opinion. Maybe even a bit more sky, as it adds such a great 'effect'. Good shot open to a few 'story interpretations', 'desolation' being just one. |

| Great colors and mood in this shot! The grain really invokes an outdoor feeling in this shot. The clouds look especially nice. |

| hard to say what I would do here - I feel like there is too much on either edge of the image and want to crop it a bit on both sides. At the same time I think it works much better in a landscape formate - so perhaps creating more horizonal space between the man and the building would have been more appealing. |

| A ribbon winner for sure. This is my second time around adjusting my votes and leaving comments and this image is a stand out. Very well done --great dof and the perfect amount of grain. Great job --10-- |

| Holy smokes, we have a winner! Love the drama and the tension, the grain just heightens that. |

| Looks great. Perahps a bit over-processed, but the resulting effect is quite appealing. |

| Perfect for the challenge, really represents the grit and turmoil of his life! The treatment is great for the ominous weather and the look of anxiousness on his face. |

| WOW - I love the deep colors. The outline of the man and the building almost seem like they are drawn. Really cool!! Great perspective and DOF. |
