Waterfront Cliché
by Dr.Confuser

Comment:
Yes, the waterfront is done a lot, but rarely this well. The timing was great because the sky had not yet gone fully dark. The window light is crisp and not blown out. The only thing that might be considered a slight negative, is the blur from what I am assuming is a large ship in the harbor (very minor). Excellent execution!

WOW! This was good at first glance, but then I took a minute for a closer look and am truely impressed. The quality of the light from the window is amazing.. it's not blown out yet it has that look. The texture of the veil is remarkable is well. And then part that blew me away, her right eye was lit just perfect. I good gone about this for an entire page, but there are over 400 more images to examine.

I've been doing a lot of toned black and whites lately, so I know how hard it is to get the contrast and exposure just right. This looks fantastic. The back of the hand seems a little fuzzy, but that may be from the conversion to a dpc sized jpeg. I'm not sure what the final score will be, but I'm thinking 7-8 range.

Excellent use of DOF and selective focus to highlight the defining feature.
I also like the square crop.
The only thing negative might be the lack of texture in the upper right corner.
I'm thinking 8 for such affective use of photographic tools to highlight the defining feature.

I think what amazes me most is your ability to manage the skin tones here. I didn't realize until some recent work with a model, but getting the skin tones just right is unbelievably difficult. In this case you manage to do it without the strong shadows going completely black. If I was going to look for something to critique, I would have to say that the electical box and conduit and the left is too sharp relative to the model and background to the right of the model. The strength of this is the light on the model and it is amazing.

Great shot! The lighting and composition create a very unique and detailed view of the textures in the glass. The use of yellow and blue is also excellent. I gave it a seven, but it might have slid up the scale another notch if I had completed my second pass at voting.

Even without WOW factor, I think this rated higher than 5.654. The exposure and focus were both carfully controlled to meet your objective and the composition was at least thoughtful. I'm not sure how that results in so many 5s on a scale of 1 to 10. Would have been a 7 from me, but evidently I didn't vote on enough to reach this one (sorry).

Well Loved... Well Worn

Great subject, but I don't like the background. If these are well worn everyday shoes, show them in the normal surroundings... next to the bed, by the front door, etc.

Technique is good, so my score will be decent, but there is more that you could do with this subject.

Everyday toilet paper!
by siggi

Comment:
That is an interesting use of an everyday object. The models eyes look great and the skin tones are good. For some reason the toilet paper doesn't "pop" like I think it should, but I'm not sure why. Still and good shot and I'll give it a good score.

This could have been a lot of fun, but the "objects" need more light. Fill flash or some light from a reflector would have brightened them up against that blue sky.
