As sad as the picture is, her face looks more bored than desperate. Still a great shot though!

A Yellow Way to Escape.

CRITIQUE CLUB:

Lighting: Perfect - very well done.

Technical: Your camera setting were great.

Challenge: Met the challenge and it's very attention-grabbing, which is what you want for a competition. This piece is one that people will remember.

Overall: Very hard to critique because it's done so well. The centering works well (because there is only one object of focus), and you left the perfect amount of space on both sides and the bottom. Overall, a greta print that deserved higher marks.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

LIGHTING: Superb, absolutely PERFECT. I am sure people would love to know how this lighting was set up. Maybe a tutorial?

CHALLENGE: Very yellow, and all the attention is on the yellow as well. Gorgeous.

TECHNICAL: Obviously perfect

CHANGES: I can't think of a single one to be honest. This honestly looks like a print you would buy. You did a fabulous job and your ribbon was well-deserved. - I strongly think you should do a lighting tutorial. Lighting like this is NOT easy!

WOW! Okay, I have been staring at this for quite some time, and frankly, I LOVE this photo. It's absolutely gorgeous.

LIGHTING: Beautiful. The only nit-picky critique I have is that the focus falls on the windows at the end which seem like they should have more to them, because they are so bright. Obviously, this couldn't be corrected with the sunlight, but I would like to see more lighting on the books.

CHALLENGE: Definitely met. Wonderful rhythmic look. Maybe a bit "choppy" - I actually think this would have been perfect for "leading lines"

TECHNICAL: I see no problems at all with your settings

OVERALL: I absolutely love this, so please don't think of this as a short critique. It's hard to critique something that is near perfect. Adjust the lighting on the windows (now that you can edit) and you have yourself a treasure!

Lighting: This seems a bit "washed" to me, with most of the light falling on the upper left hand corner. With the light there, it almost seems like there should be a center of focus there too - maybe an individual heart with a cute saying??

Subject: This fits the challenge VERY well. The only downfall to this shot is that it is a photo of something we are all used to seeing on Valentines Day. There may have been a lack of interest during the voting.

Sharpness: A bit too sharp, and the colors are a bit too bright. I think this would have made a great "soft" print.

Overall: I think it's a good shot, and I love how you filled the entire frame. I might go for a more "unique" subject next time and soften your lighting, simply to avoid a snapshot look. Of course, with the time limit, it made it difficult to go "all out"! Take care, and great job!
