Great idea and really different for a photo Challenge. You show good detail in your photograph, nice lighting, good focus, perhaps a little too bright on the bottom right, but overall, a really good shot.

Now this is a very unusual subject to photograph. Nicely framed, good focus, nice detail on what's his name and his vehicle?

Realy nice shot, good idea for the Challenge, shows some imagination and originality.
Your lighting is just fine, creating the shadow that you obviously intended.
I like the colour that you captured of the red "eye" staring out of the Olive.
Good use of the rule of 3rd's too. A really different photograph.
I hope you score high with this shot.

Critique by Silver Fox

One of my favourite photographs and I got the chance to critique it! I just love the way she’s got her eyes closed!

First of all Kandice, in future I'd like to see some information on your aperture and shutter speeds, to me it’s one of the most important things to keep track of this information and to share it with us. And fill us in as to where you took the photo. Maybe we want to go there one day and cool off with our Sweet Heart! :}smiles

Okay. The Sun looks like it was directly on top of them and that makes it pretty hard to control your lighting, not much you can do about it.

The result is that you end up with the funny looking hazy/lighting behind them.

I think it looks okay, but the other problem you run into here with this photo is: see the tree branches growing out of his sweetheart’s head? That’s a “no no.”
Either move them around a bit, or move yourself around a bit to avoid this in future. Okay?

You have good composition and you have your subjects in a good pose which shows the love of 18 years between them.

Your focusing is right on with good depth of field.

Did you shoot you camera on Automatic? If on Manual, you could control the exposure yourself much better.

As I said above the visual impact of your photo showed emotion to your viewers and this is what gets you points in a Challenge.

You’ve got good ideas and imagination and all you have to do is keep shooting and keep practicing and shooting and practicing and . . .
most of all have some fun!

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Ed

Great shot of what a lot of us use each and every day. Nice focus up front to show us what it is. Your lighting from the side seems a bit harsh on the centre.

Well, I wouldn't want this guy to bite my toe! Really nice colour here, good lighting, little bit of a shadow, but so what? Nice focus from his shell to his eye to his claw. Great photo.
