Hey you!

Congrats on your first challenge! I know these first two are a bit of a rough start, but we can talk about it when I see you this week. :)

On this one I will say that a) folks here hate "noise/grain" and b) folks here generally hate things that are not pretty.

Personally I like the humour in the shot, but would have worked on getting rid of some of the noise in it, and made it a bit more contrasty. I will show you how to do all that this week. :)

Heh - the end of an elephant's trunk?

Do you know why an elephant has a trunk?
They would look funny without one.............7

Think this was funny ;)

Interesting choice of subject but the noise and combined with it being slightly out of focus makes this just really unappealing, haha if the focus was crisper I think it would be more funny and have more wow factor

The photo is very grainy and the focus therefore does not look great. Maybe it was a small part of a photo blown up too much?

Interesting indeed - very unique (brave) shot so high marks for that courage. Technically imperfect but it doesn't matter too much sometimes.

Is it a nellyfant trunk?

A bit grainy and the colors seem washed out. Focus could be sharper.
