Poor spelling in your title. Looks like a snapshot. The composition could be stronger as well as a more interesting camera angle. Point, shoot, submit. Don't expect a ribbon.

GREAT focus and tones. Love the color and vivid blacks. One of my favorites so far! The contrasting expressions between the old man and the kid couldn't have been better. You should finish high!

The complicated background takes our focus off of your subject. Also the lighting on her seems very flat and lifeless. If you had taken her and put her in a more interesting lighting environment and maybe made sure the background wasnt so distracting it would have been much better. Perhaps this was a candid though and you couldnt control these elements.

Goodluck,

Love how you didn't clone out every imperpection that your three subjects had. It keeps them feeling real and tangible. Great use of foreground and background. The pink thing in the bottom right courner is the only real distracting element. Very nice shot.

This is a great image but seems a little dark. Perhaps if you ahd open up a stop or two or adjusted it a bit lighter in PS, this could ahve been fixed. Love the candid moment though. Well done.

Ahh....an image that puts off an emotion. Some pics I've been flipping through don't tuoch me emotionally at all. With this image, however, you can "feel" the energy from the youth of your subjects. I think you did a great job. It's not oversaturated, exposure seems a tiny bit hot, but not distracting. My complaint is the cluttered feel of the composition. There almost too much going on. If the distracting trees weren't int he background, this would have been easier to look at. Picture the same image with a blue sky replacing the wispy trees. mmm.


Nice job anyways! You worked with the conditions that were available and caught a great candid shot to share with us.

Goodluck and happy shooting,

A+ on the composition. Lighting seems a little flat. Must have been an overcast day. Nice candid nevertheless.
