The Colors of My Freedom

Hi Steve from the Critique Club,

My first impression of the picture - poor focus and simple concept we've all seen 100 times. Some commented a black background might have been better, I'm not so sure, because then the darker colors wouldn't have contrasted, so maybe a different background, but I'm not sure what color would've worked best. The actual positioning of the crayons wasn't so bad, you just needed focus. I would recommend never submitting a photo this poorly focused, you can always reshoot until you get focus, that's one of the advantages we have using digital.

Sorry I have so little good to say, but, I'm trying to help you out, not just to say nice things so I don't hurt your feelings. Just keep shooting and try to learn from mistakes.

Take Care,
Brian

Seems like the slinkies in the back aren't focused as well. I like this shot, nice subject and the composition is pretty good. Are those slinkies worth money now?

A very personal interpetation of this challenge, and also a valid and interesting one. I like the lighting (or lack thereof?).

Not very good focus in this photo, and too much glare from the lamp - a polarizing filter would've helped a lot.

Yeah I do! Just I didn't travel along the railroad, it was a nearby lake. Great job with the color, and I like your choice to leave a large empty space in the foreground - it gives me the impression that the little boy has traveled a ways. This is one of my faves in this challenge.

Nice job on this. Nice effect with the rusty red engine. The sky is pixelated, however, you probably overprocessed the photo I'm guessing.
