Just a simple call away

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This is strong. Exposure composition focus lighting all good. I'd prefer a longer DOF so the entire thing is sharp.

Personal: Great idea.

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This one does well. Exposure composition focus lighting all good, though I'd like to see the background a little more evenly lit. I think the bright white would make it a bit stronger and more contrasty.

Personal:Yep, very nice.

A Simpler Time
by QuAcKeR

Comment:
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This does nicely. The radio itself feels just a tiny bit underexposed (maybe some more light reflected onto the front of it?), but composition focus and lighting in back are all great.

Personal: Yep. Great photo.

Comment:
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This is right on the money. Exposure and focus good. Composition feels quite weak. I feel the lighting should be more diffused to avoid the brights on the rocks.

Personal: This has tons of potential. In my mind more time spent and different compositions could have yielded a better photograph.

Comment:
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This does, but it's not a good photograph. Exposure composition and lighting seem okay... hard to tell with the complete lack of focus.

Personal: I feel this fails to convey.

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good, I really like the DOF and the capture of the snow falling. At first I accidentally typed "snot falling" :-)

Personal: Very cool. Interesting to look at.

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This is perfect for it. Exposure composition focus lighting all excellent. I like the DOF this way, but wonder if it would be stronger if the entire thing was sharp.

Personal: Simply simplicity. Nicely done.

Comment:
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting relatively good. Something else in the photo would help to elevate this from just a pattern.

Personal: No fine detail and no additional visual information means no interest for me. Simple yes, but compelling, no. Keep practicing, it's worth it!

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This does very nicely. Exposure composition focus lighting all good.

Personal: Definitely conveys moodiness- not quite enough information here to convey what the subject is, but enough to gain a feeling. And that's enough.
