::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

Interesting to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.

First Impression - the most important one:
This is a wonderful shot .. but not a candid (this seems to come through in the comments you received but you do not refute in your photographers comments so that is what I need to look at).

Composition:
Lovely ... for a portrait this would have done really well.

Subject:
Does not meet the challenge .. so is well off subject .. doesn't mean it ain't good.

Technical (Colour and light):
Good ... maybe a little oversharpened ... not sure if there is neatimage used or not.

To grow its vote?:
Meet the challenge .. it helps .. and in this case it would have .... as I said it is still a great shot ...

Summary:
You are doing good. This is a show of good things to come .. keep it up.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.

These children are obviously posing for the camera. Darling children, but it's a color portrait. Not a candid in how I interpret one by photography standards.

It's not a candid if you can tell that they're posing for you.

Oh boy....I hate to say it because I know you've heard it before.

Its a great photo - I just don't know if it really is a "candid" shot.

There is something about the texture of the faces that bothers me... looks like too much neat image or something

Not really a candid when they are posing for the picture.

Great picture. Not exactly a "candid."

It's not candid if they're posing! AAAAAH!

This seems posed and not at all candid. Candid is supposed to be catching the subject off guard and they are definitely "smiling for the camera." Great portrait but not for this challenge.
