Hi from the Critique Club

First Impression was Good picture, like that the foot and hand were out of the frame.

Technically
All the shots are in focus and the lighting is good. Editing is great and the out of frame makes the picture.

Composition.. Works well, my only thing to nit pick is the background buildings but that is really only a minor distraction.

Meets Challenge
Yes

Final Thoughts.
A nice all around picture, well executed and well received by the voters.

Best of Luck in future challenges.

Hi from the Critique Club

First Impression was interesting shotm but no WOW factor

Technically
All the shots are in focus and the lighting is good.

Composition.. I like shots one and three but the middle shot needed a closer crop. The pile of dirt in the middle picture is distracting

Meets Challenge
Yes

Final Thoughts.

After reading the comments I am really impressed about what this is all about and how it is used, how I wish we would find some cleaner solutions here in America.

Over all this is a decent shot. Maybe some different angles could make this more interesting

Best of Luck in future challenges.

First Impression of this photo was a feeling of gentleness.

Technically
First and Third pictures are well done, Good lighting and focus, the 2nd pictures is slighty blurred. Colors are just a tad flat, Maybe a little more contrast.

Composition.. Set up is nice and the pictures flow well

Meets Challenge
Yes

Final Thoughts.

This a nice picture and well done for a first time model. She seems relaxed.

Hi from the Critique Club!

First Impression of this photo was wow this is nice, good colors.

Technically
I wish the first boat was complete, and it is just a tad out of focus. Lighting is nice on all three shots.

Composition
Is good but that tight crop on the first shot takes away from the overall picture. Love the colors

Nice top 100 finish and good luck in future challenges.

Sunset on the Lake

Hi from the CC Club,

This is a pretty shot but nothing out of the normal sunset shot.
The sky and water blend together too much. I agree with the comment about being it being grainy.

Maybe a higher different POV, not sure..

Best luck in future challenges.

Hi from the CC CLub.

Wow you got more comments after the challenge then during.

This is technically a nice photo. Good lighting and angle. I like the view from the back, Gives it something different.

Subject is crisp and colors are nice.

Well done!

Greetings from The Critique Club

Welcome to DPC too!

First you should know that comments made during challenges can be painfully honest. Know that most people are trying to be helpful, some are just a little more graceful with their words.

Technically this picture is ok. Lighting is a bit harsh on the face
and the red of the ?slide?. The color is bright and the skin tones look okay,

You have met the Rule of Thirds well.

The subject does not keep my interest, but for your first challenge you have done well.

My advice is to keep shooting, and entering challenges. It is hard in the beginning, comments may be left that seem harsh but read through the lines and you will see that most people here have thier hearts in the right place.

Hi from Critique Club.
and welcome to DPchallenge.

Technically , I think this shot is overexposed. White flowers are hard to shoot and a lot of the petal detail is lost. The leaf in the front left is a bit distracting. A different angle may have helped both problems.

Subject: I think the crop is too tight, its not a macro so more flower and better DOF would have made this more interesting.

Meeting the challenge, Well I think the comments speak volumes, it is centered no rule of thirds there.

I have looked at your portfolio and you have some really nice pictures there. It takes awhile to understand the voting trends, but the people here are helpful and very honest with their comments.
Keep entering challenges and you will learn that score doesn't really matter, it's the challenge of the shot and how much you enjoyed yourself taking the picture.
Best of Luck

Karen
