Challenge: Despair (Classic Editing)
Camera: Sony DSC-F717
Location: Irvine, California
Date: Feb 23, 2003
Aperture: F5.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/500 sec
Date Uploaded: Feb 23, 2003

 Cropped, a little saturation, and my first attempt at a border. I cropped the way I did so the slide would show it was a playground... I tried thinner crops to convey the distance better, but ultimately decided I needed the slide to explain the shot to the casual glancer.

Critique CLub Comments by Grayce
This is a cute and expressive picture. The child is adorable, and I can see she is trying hard to reach waaaaaaaaay up. I see determination, and frustration, but not really despair.
Technically this is good. The focus is excellent and the colors are very good. Your framing and crop are fine. Nice that you didn't center the child. Also good that you included that curved slide.
If I took this picture, I'd be proud of it. If it was my child I'd cherish it. Great action shot.
Overall good job. I see no problems at all.
Regards,

Grayce

I'm not sure I see too much despair in this picture. I think the small person is enjoying themselves too much.

I remember being a child with a similar problem and thinking it was the end of the world - an interesting take on the despair theme. The composition is good, lighting is good, and it's expressive.

Great picture, though the red border distracts the eye. Would have cropped the little bit of tan at the top and rotated the picture just a tad to the right.
