from the hay-lost of the Critique Club
It's an interesting approach to the challenge, I think. It's very rare for a slightly off-the-wall angle to thing to be at al understood, let alone appreciated here (in fact, it's entirely possible to make an interesting experience out of a whole process of gentle piss-taking of the challenge theme thing). But here, I sense, is a genuine appreciation of the ideas of the virtues, and an interesting illustraction of those ideas in action - the concentration on this small balancing act between the two kids is fantastic, and the distortion of features in the glasses just adds extra emphasis to the whole idea. Candid, set-up, whatever, and who cares? I hope it's a proper grabbing-of-the-moment photograph - but whatever, it works.
Now, as to what doesn't work. You just need to get a handle on the whole processing thing. Believe me, if you can enter this shot for one of these challenges, you know what the difficult bit of photography is about - the moment, the capture of the important thing as it is presented to you - but boy, you really need, I would say, to get a hold of what the idea of presenation in photography is about. This looks straight out of the camera - and never forget, that what comes straight out of your camera is designed to amke people's holiday photographs look as good as possible. Put this in black and white, do a careful adjustment with levels, so that you have as wide a range of tones as you can find in this scene, and you'd have so much more high-scoring a photograph - for dpc, you must always present children photographs as a piece of art, at the very least.
Looking through your stuff here at dpc, I'd say you have some potential as a photographer; I think it's worth remembering a salient point about any endeavour: 'if it was easy, then everyone would be doing it'. |

Wow, my vote was off. I'd like to know if anyone else had a problem with the lighting. I guess it's just me.
Of course, it's hard to light glasses too, so maybe that's the way it is. |

| good idea. i like the boys distorted face in the glass but where is the focus? Focus and better lighting could have taken this photo alot further i think. the idea is great |

| I like the numbers on the ruler. I think the 7 on the ruler could be made more clear. |

| Good idea. Something is wrong with this shot. Underexposed? Odd Lighting? Maybe someone else will nail it. |
