Loves her Mommy (candid)

Comment by JimiRose:
Sweet shot and I like the soft focus. I think you should have more faith in voters to spot a candid shot - little "instructions" in the titles on how to view a photo always strike me as a bit patronising and you might actually lose points because of it. Just my 2 cents! :)

This is really underated. I think it meets the challenge well.

Ah, you got slammed by the voters who only expected to see reflection as symmetry. Repetition is, mathematically, just as valid (referred to as translation). Anyway, great pic & I gave you a shout out in this thread:

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I can see why you shot this - it certainly isn't something you see everyday and by sharing it, we can all enjoy this interesting scene.The mega-bubble is well lit and the eye is naturally drawn there.

Critical stuff: If I'm honest I think that though this is a good scene, it isn't a good photograph. The column is very prominent and competes with the bubble and probably succeeds - this is problematical because of the lack of focus here; I know that isn't where you intended the focus to be but it's too big a feature to include if this unsharp. The cropping generally doesn't help either - the woman in profile at the bottom does little to help your image and cropping a bit more top to bottom would've improved things.

Overall: A good scene, well seen but one which is marred by technicals which don't help you to communicate your vision with the viewer.

Hi,
This is the picture that caught my attention. I am a noob here but what could be the reason for it getting 39th place and not in top 20 or so? I am not saying that those pics are not good or anything but I liked this one a bit too much for it's creativity. Or maybe it's not as creative as I think it is?

This is pretty good. Looks like the guy in the black t-shirt is interested. Well done capture of the context in the reflection.
