Anyway, this was the only shot in this challenge that stuck in my head - I was looking forward to seeing if you'd achieved another brown ribbon. :) |

OK, I am thinking this is probably Whiterooks entry.
Dude, I am still not convinced you dont go out of your way to get low scores.. seriously, all you needed to do was nail the focus on this one and it would of done better than it probably is doing now. But the focus is on the background leaving a slightly out of focus Bear. The shingle behind is pinsharp and the colours and exposure are actually rather good.. Even if you had asked Rob to stand still for a couple of seconds while you pop of a couple of shots would of helped. |

| Nice shot, but IMO, the focus should be on the man instead of the ground behind him |

| the DP member is out of focus. overall the composition is okay, nice background, though for this type of portrait I would use portrait orientation and push in closer to the subject to crop out some background. or pull back and shoot full body. leaving it cropped at the waist is awkward |
