Extra Credit

Ok. I'm trying here. What I see is a cabinet filled with boxes of tissue. Many different brands and styles implies that different people brought them to "school?" The only thing that comes to mind is Georgie Porgie puddin' n pie, kissed the girls and made them cry.... But I' don't think he got extra credit for that--not even sure he was a proper student.

There's interest in the pattern of the boxes. The division between the closed side and open side of the cabinet cuts the composition in half, though with the offset shelves it is reminiscent of the Klee or Modrian type mondern paintings. Hate the orange and black border. Look forward to hearing your intentions next week.

This is nice. The page makes a nice backgournd pattern and allows the fingers and pencil to become its own shape. The color is a bit on the pink side--I'd like to see something actually white in the photo. One other thing....it took me awhile to understand what bothers me most about this photo....you're not left handed, right? The grip on the pencil in not just "posed" (as one would expect) it's actually forced.

Funny! Nice spoof on those awful yearbook photos. Honestly, I'm not sure it "represents education" as such, but there's a certain type of social education popular among the challenge entries. (That's for me to work out.)

Seems to be loss of detail in the sweater. Background is a little harsh. I'll assume it's intentional.

Nicely composed. Seem out of focus. Rays at top left are mysterious, to me. Good idea, just could be tighter.

I hate tests!

Some things never change. I think you've created a nearly timeless image here.

Use of wide-angle really adds to the feeling implied by the students' postures. White balance just enough to hint that there's a more interesting day outside those windows. Point of view adds to it all. Like it much!

One can almost see him dreaming numbers...

Nicely set up. I lke the angles created by your composition. Color adds mood to the message. Well done!

Adorable! Kids can be such great subjects!

Beautiful constrast. Love the choice of black and white, it really shows off the great tonal range of this image!

Nice idea! I remember watching the second hand and listening for that last "buzz" it made as it clicked into the hour and rang the bell.

Composition has an abstract quality. On its own, the photo doesn't say "school" to me--maybe the subject looks too much like a kitchen clock. Interesting take and execution nonetheless.

Classic composition and subject. The lighting is a little soft. Would like to see a bit more "pop" in this otherwise nice photo.

I like the idea here (with or without the title). Think it would help the photo if you adjusted white balance for those lights. Composition might be more satisfying if not so much ceiling was showing.
