Family Celebration

A nice family keepsake photo. For me, I wish one or two of the couples had their faces to the camera themselves. It would have added more interest for me had they been smiling at me, and I would have scored it higher then.

A good game indeed is always worthy of celebration. For me, the lighting in your photo is a bit on the harsh or bright side. It looks like you may have lowered the saturation, but I wonder what this looked like at full color?

I like the idea and the model, but there's something about the wine glass. Maybe it's the way it's tipped..looks to me as if it's about to go right up her nose. Sorry, I'm not great with the technical jargon, but again, I like your concept of celebration.

Halloween Decision

Wow - those are some really glow-like orange pumpkins!! I do agree Halloween is a cause for celebration, but unfortunately the girl doesn't look as if she is having too much fun. Had she been carrying one of the huge ones in her arms with a big grin on her face, I would have scored this higher.

I like the concept of celebration for the brave men and women of the fire departments. For me though, your photo doesn't fully portray that to me. It's a nice mailbox, but compared with other entries in the challenge seems to lack an overall..."wow" factor. I'm not good with the technical jargon, but I wonder how this would have been say if there was a uniformed arm reaching in for some mail or something? Just something else in the photo to make it more..."exciting" for the viewer?

The New Day

I agree that a new day is cause for celebration. For me though, the overcast sky and "gray mood" of the photo makes me want to crawl back into bed and pull the covers up. I do like the composition, just wish it had been a brighter day.

Neat fish eye view of a fun looking pumpkin patch. Good colors. I wish the girl was smiling a bit more (to give the impression of celebration a bit more), but that pumpkin does look a bit heavy for her. :-) Hope she had fun carving it.

She'll be here any minute......(please say yes)

Awww, what a sweet concept for celebration (and I hope indeed she said yes). The lighting is a bit harsh to me, and makes the glasses almost seem plastic. Also, since the glasses are vertical objects I wonder how this would have looked if you shot it as a vertical (portrait) photo instead - thereby not cutting off the glasses?

For me, Halloween is a cause for celebration. While I like all the lawn decorations, your photo appears very grainy on my screen, and I don't know if that was intentional or not. I wonder how this would have looked if it was truly pitch black with all the fun ornaments lit and a longer exposure?

Awww, what a nice entry in the pride challenge. I like the use of black and white, and you can see the look of love in her eyes. The lights around the man's head are a bit distracting to me, but otherwise well done.
