Just a bit right to center in more ways than one... creative mind ya got going there.

Ride in to the Sun

Comment:
One of few entries int this challenge that I've found so far that the subject feels at home off-centered. Contender for a ribbon IMO. Very well executed shot. Lovely color and contrast and composition is striking. Bravo! 10

Red is the colour
by Bethra

Comment:
I love this image as a whole... very good composition, nice exposure... but the red, I dunno, it's a bit too much. perhaps if your subject was complelel colorized I'd like it more, but just the red hair is somewhat distracting.

What's the surf like?

I like the framing here... wish it had just a bit more light inside the edges of the cavern, but overall nice image.

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
Wow, luck of the draw I get to discuss this photo with you again. It's quite a good shot and does meet the challenge well.

Composition:
I like how you framed your subject here, but the "frame" itself is a bit cluttered to be as effective as it could be.

Subject:
Subject is clear, but once again I'm distracted by all the clutter. By that, I mean I can tell too much of what is going on with everyone else. As mentioned in the forumns the pont of view is from inside the mob. A more omnipetent point of view may have broguht "singled" him out more.

Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
Colour: quite nice... but for some reason, my eye is seeing his color as being different than the rest of the image. He seems more saturated than everything else. I'm not sure why.
Focus: Very sharp in his eyes, but fades a little too fast from there.
Light: Well lit, and very well exposed.

To grow its vote?:
Point of view, I believe or simplification of the frame. Your outtake that you showed us, I feel with its simplicity and interest would have score quite a bit better.

Summary:
It is a good photo, very good technicals. Just a few compostional adjustments could have made this really something really special.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
Very crisp, very clean and fits my expectations of the challenge well.

Composition:
Maybe not the strongest compostion in the world, but certainly not the worst. I'd like to see a bit more of the background with your subject more off-center.

Subject:
Subject is strong and stands out quite well from the busy background.

Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
All of your technicals are dead-on. Focus is sharp, color is well saturated and natural, lighting is very good. Exposure is perfect.

To grow its vote?:
I'm afraid I'm not much help on growing a vote over 10th place. Perhaps, a bit stronger composition would help.

Summary:
Wonderful job on this challenge. You are well on your way to a ribbon.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy
