Hi there -

I think this was a clever idea, especially considering the creative difficulties presented by the challenge. The composition itself is alright, but much too yellow. Somehow the colors look a bit dull and the edges of the game pieces look too soft. Not sure what to suggest for improvement on this one, perhaps more diffuse lighting?

Hello from Ãlex, CTP MkII

First Impression: Nice idea with a strange name on the lens cap (I've never listened of it).
Composition: Correct.
Subject: Maybe a bit difficult to understand. That game is not very popular in my place. But the idea is very clever.
Technical: It's a bit dark overall, it doesn't stand out for the colors. The exposition is a bit underexposed for my taste. Focus is very good.
Improvement: Make a brighter image.

Greetings from CTP2

Technicals:
The lighting didn't come out well but you did do a good job of minimizing the hot spots. As for the color it looks a bit dull to me. Maybe some photoshoping with the levels could have helped that a bit.

Subject/composition:
Good idea for the subject. However, it wasn't immediatley obvious to me due to the crop and the translucent board. I think this might have been one of those occassions where a view from the top would have been better.

Suggestions for Improvement:
Hard to provide much here really. Honestly I think I would have just shot something else with more features rather than those translucent elements which seem like a nightmare to light. However, if you are going to shoot that try that above angle that I mentioned earlier. If anything it would make the idea easier to see in the image.

Good lighting, interesting game baord. The border kind of unbalances the picture a bit.

I think it might have been better if you'd shown us more of (what I can only deduce must be) the tic-tac-toe board. It's a nice idea, but it could have been better executed.

The subject is clear: a lens cap. The composition is good, I like that table of old woman game (as we call it literally here). The issue here is focus and light. This is not a challenging situation to focus. May be you had shot it handheld in low ligh and get a sort of camera shake. Then a tripod or standing was helped a lot. The light is a matter of taste, it´s to harsh, revealing to many hot spots and glares. Yes, reflective surfaces are challenging.

only if the other corner is an O! I like the composition and the clear game pieces in this photo, good job controlling glare, only thing is maybe a little sharpening could help this photo, but nice work
