Blank Canvas - the mind of the young

this is a great photo --- there is nothing I could suggest to make it better.... knocking off 1 point because, IMO, it doesn't show any kind of an environment.

great photo of a california (?) dude. This shot has a lot of things in it's favour..... truly dedicated (addicted) surfers are free souls, just waiting for that perfect wave.. your model exemplifies this. Very well photographed ... my highest vote to date... 7

well photographed - crisp, colors are nice but looking at the photo, I have no idea what this person does or where she does it.

Want a cookie
by phayanak

Comment:
Good job photographing this ... subject is in crisp focus but a little too centered...a tighter crop on the right would have improved this composition. The reflection in the glass is distracting. 1 point down for not satisfying the challenge (more cookie might have done it)

well photographed/well lit... the center of attention (his head) in my opinion, should be off center... and in order to really satisfy the challenge, you might want to show more of his/her environment.

I feel this is a great post processing shot...you know what you are doing obviously in P-Shop (or something similar) This photo really does conjure up images of the future (glad to see we women are still shopping).

Last Wave

Comment:
Definitely meets the challenge - I really like the splash in the foreground... the expression on the model's face connects with the title..would have liked his face to be in crisper focus (in other words a greater DOF) I love surfing shots but this one doesn't have the wow factor that would place it high in scoring. A 6 from me

The composition is wonderful. her stern little expression tells me she doesn't know she is being photographed... the crop is one I never would have thought of doing, yet it works in this case.

Spring

If the models name is spring, then this shot suits the challenge (somewhat).... very well photographed, nice pastel colors, great SDOF

The Shop Assistant
by Djabordjabor

Comment:
This shot definitely satisfies the challenge... kind of looks like a collage because of all the products in the shop, yet the assistant stands out. Exposed nicely and it works because everything is in focus. Good luck with the voting because this shot is 'out of the box'
