The bad hair day

I don't know why (and I know that's not helpful) but this composition disturbs me a bit. It would be interesting to see how it would change if you moved the head up just slightly to include the nose and the ears i.e. cut it off just above the top lip.

In Bad Condition

A really lovely shot. Good tonal range and great texture on the barn. I also like the fence going across the front of the picture. A dramatic sky would make this a winner!

...not a good wine glass

A good shot but I would have liked to have seen a portrait version so that we could see more of the solid stream of wine going up into the air.

Bad Day!

Oh dear! He IS having a bad day! I like the fact that this portrait was taken in landscape. The positioning is perfect on the right with the baby looking 'into' the picture. I feel the need to cuddle him!

I like the effect of the 'bars' in front of the monkey and I think the placement of the eyes in one square is perfect. Nice shot.

I feel the crop is a little tight o this one. More of the dogs environment would have improved the shot.

The body being slightly out of focus has a strange effect, it seems to make the head 'float'. IMO showing a bit more of the chest and shoulders would have rectified this.

Bad Habit

An excellent picture with good tonal range and a really interesting subject. One comment, the overall focus seems to be a bit soft, especially on the hands.

There's not much wrong with this photo IMHO except maybe for the timing. It is slightly overexposed and the light, I would guess it's around midday, does nothing for the building. I would go back early morning/late afternoon, depending on the angle of the sun for a softer, more flatering light which would eliminate the shadows and bring out the lovely colour of the brickwork. Keeping an eye open for some nice clouds to add interest to the background would also be an idea. A suggestion would also be to place the building slightly more to the left and make use of the wall on the bottom right hand corner to lead the viewers eye into the picture. Hopefully, the location is close enough for you to be able to go back! Of course, you could always touch it up in Photoshop to saturate the colours etc, but IMO it is better to do as much in camera as you can and as little as possible on the computer. Good luck and let us know if you try this one again.

Edited to correct a repetition
