Greets from the Critique Club:

Initial impression:
Nice colors, distracting shadows, jumbled composition.

Challenge:
I admit that I didn't see the connection to time when I voted on this picture, but after reading the comments I now see the connection. Very creative and neat idea. I remember those days fondly.. Unfortunately I've found it doesn't pay to be too creative around here.

Composition/Creativity:
I'm not sure what to say here. The composition feels jumbled and messy, but I have a feeling that's caused by the shadows.

Technical/Post-Processing:
This is where this photo lets me down. The flash is far too harsh. Try more light without the flash nexttime!

Overall:
Not a strong/apparent enough reference to time. Flash. Good idea and great colors though!

I use to do that. Interesting sub.

I can not see the time relevance

Hard to rate this for me as without the title the photo does not show the theme. Nice colors though.

The flash ruins this for me: what could have been a really intersting composition with more intersting lighting.

???? Good color and focus on most of the paper. Flash(?) shadows seem a bit harsh and the lighting on the right edge yellow paper is very harsh. Challenge - without the title, I wouldn't see any connection, with the title, I just don't understand the connection (my bad). 5 Swash

I get it! A paper chain is something that people (mostly kids) make around the holidays to count down the days till Christmas. On Dec 1st they make a paper chain using 25 "rings" and each day, they tear a ring off so they'll know how many days until Christmas; thus, counting down the days(time). (I looked it up on google.)

don't get what this has to do with time

Nice macro, streching the challenge IMHO

This image holds a good deal of 'interest' value for its color and absract nature, but I am lost on the interpretation of 'time' in this photo... - setzler

nice color
03/24/2003 09:12:16 PM
Nice color, composition, but I don't share your relationship with the TIME theme though (nothing personal).

Nice colors, but the shadows are a little heavy. It would be nice if some of it were in very sharp focus. Original
