This photo tells a story, and that is my favorite kind of photo. On top of it, your horizon is even straight

Can you just imagine washing your clothes in that dirty water? Such as things we take for granted. This photo tells a story, and that is the best kind of photo. Thanks for sharing this.....

Maybe a little too minimalist, your subject gets lost in all that negative space.

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) Well composed. The funky colors are what makes this photo special. The colors are what makes this photo stand out, as well as the interplay between the tacks and their shadows.

(2) BACKGROUND The background is perfect for this photograph, and the texture is very interesting.

(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL I wish the tacks were sharper (focus) as this is the one biggest complaint that i have with this image.

(4)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge. Unfortunately with the focus problem and the lighting problems, there is little to hold the attention of the viewer.

(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO This is a photo that might be worth rteshooting, Concentrate on focus and lighting, and play with the colors a bit to find an end image that you would be proud of.

A Tack on the Killer Tomato

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) Well composed. The use of three tacks is significant as the human brain sees that number as being well balanced. The humor behind this shot is what makes this photo special. I suppose it does help to have seen the referenced movie.

(2) BACKGROUND The colors in the upper right corner are a bit distracting. They would have been wasy enough to clone out. I like your shallow DOF which has thrown the background out of focus.

(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Exposure is good, but not great. The blown out highlight on the tomato is very distracting. The shallow DOF is great for the background but is a little too shallow as 2 of the tacks and a great deal of the tomato are out of focus.

(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL
Some of the problems with this image could have been cleaned up in Photoshop, but not all of them. You may have taken this photo at the last minute, but I get the feeling that it was sort of rushed.

(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge.

(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO This is more of a snap shot than a fine art photograph. Snapshots do have their place though, and it looks as if you had fun setting this up and taking it. its all about the joy afterall.

Thje composition of this photo is very strong, but the colors seems to lack impact. This can be corrected by boosting levels and saturation in any photo manipulation software.

You may see this as humorous, but it scares me to death. How different life is in other parts of the world.
