Composition/Content - I know you've received some criticism of the composition of this image. I don't dislike it as much as some of the others. I like that the water ends at the middle ofthe picture. I also like that I can see the source of the water. For me, this picture doesn't say 'motion'; it says water.
Background - OK, a little boring; could use more color saturation. I'm glad this was taken on a day with a threatening sky.
Camera Work Technical - Don't know what I would do differently, given your choice of subject and composition.
Digital Processing - Technical - Again, I'd look for more rich color.
Opinion - Not one of my favorites. Looks like very little creative effort went into this. |

| Overly compressed, colour and balance are out, composition is ? Are you trying to see if we are paying attention? Ties to theme... that's about it. |

| Motion? Yes. Really exciting? not really. I think I would liked to at least have something in focus here. Anything would have helped. Grass, trees, bottle, water. Anything. The background creates nothing distracting from the subject. that's a good thing. I think that I also would have liked to see a tighter crop on the water. The space to the right doesn't really add much to the shot. Good luck in the challenge. |

| While this does meet the challenge, it would have worked better if some part of the photograph was in focus. Clever idea. |

Not Flattering but, but I will elaborate.
1)Does the Photo fit the Theme? In an Iffy Way. (4)
2)Color: There is not that much here to deal with. (4)
3)Composition: It appears that none of the Guidlines (rules) apply to this photo
as far as composition is concerned. The grass/tree line basically midlines this
photo providing for a bit of "static". (4)
4)Focus: OK here lies a problem I am sure you are aware of. I do not know what
to say to help correct this problem. For a picture like this what can you focus
on prior to squezzing the water out of this bottle to assure you have the
subject in focus? (3)
5)Background: Technically The trees are a good background, but I think they are
too far away. The grass does not appear to be a good background and I base
that on the waterdroplets that have fallen to the lower part of the photo. They
in my oppinion take away form this shot. (3)
6)Lighting:For a portrait I would say this lighting would be great. It is an overcast
day the lighting is not harsh but yet it can still be directional. For this shot I think
the sun needs to shine to give a possible surprise effect on the water exploding
out of the bottle.
(ie. a light diffraction causing a possible prism) In my personal
oppinion that would give a cool effect. (4)
Overall Score. 3.6 rounded to 4
Sorry about this score. It was not ment to discourage you. I do feel however
that there could have been more time taken to set this shot up.

| this needs alot of help. it's too dark, out of focus, and you arent really showing your subject in an interesting way, know what i mean? take a look at the faucet shot by someone on here named Yellowpeep for an example of a killer moving water shot |

| nice attempt. Water could be in focus though and could do without the tree line |
