Greetings from the Critique Club };-)

Initial thoughts
Interesting concept, meets the challenge, cute but not to interesting

Composition/ Content

A decent shot technically but rather bland. The face is cute but doesn't do much for the sign as a road sign. It fills the shot too much. A different perspective or perhaps someone standing next to it with a hugh grin on their face may have added to it. I feel like I'm missing out on the rest of the shot, I keep looking to see what is below and behind it, taking focus away from the subject.

Background
The way this is shot, the little bit of background is actually brighter than the sign which is your subject. Fill in flash may have worked, giving your sign some sizzle.

Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good and contrast is too for the difference in light and shadow you have here.

Digital Processing - Technical
Seems pretty good. Another thing I wondered about was the title. I didn't get the meaning there.

Fits The Challenge
Fits the challenge well.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a four. I think that it meets the challenge but is mostly fairly bland. When you are going through the shots one at a time and voting it wasn't one that grabbed you. Technically fine but needed spruced up to finish better. Good eye though, and keep up the good work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

Sorry, but it just doesn't say much to me. It's a cute smile, but that's it.

the sign is not very appealing to me, maybe I just not a happy person. a3
