"Determined Penguin Caper"
by Rebecca

Comment:
Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression
Good idea, not so good execution.
Composition:
Composition is fine.
Subject:
I like the subject. The challenge is such that not many entrants met the criteria. This is do exception, doen't look like a Movie poster/promo.
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighing needs some improvement. Flat lighting, Contrast and colors takes away a lot from this picture. Not sure if yellow color also works with the picture.
Improvement:
Other than Yellow color for base, more contrast, more lighting. Instead of putting subject on flat surface, try a curve. I was using the flat surface earlier. I learned that if you want base and BG same color, can be achieved using a paper poster board with the curvature.
Summary:
Average image with lack of lighting and contrast.

Colorful Prayers: Mother Cabrini Shrine

Comment:
Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression
Nice shot.
Composition:
I would have liked the different composition. Two things I don't like about the composition, the angle and looking down. If I have to take this shot, I will sit down and take picture looking up.
Subject:
I really like the subject, fits the challenge well
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting is okay here. It's well exposed photo.
Improvement:
Different composition and Crop. I would rather like to see this in Landscape mode.
Summary:
Meets the challenge, good exposure.

First Impression
Very Nice shot, with WOW factor.
Composition:
Very nice composition with tight corp.
Subject:
I really like the subject. Nice take on the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting is perfect.
Improvement:
Only one thing I don't like here - the blur effect is the front. It's definately very good DOF, but just wonderning how it would look with focus is front too.
Summary:
Very nice picture, creative, funny, perfect for the challenge.

Very nice image. Congrates on your 12th finish and Personal Best. Keep'em coming.
