Red White and Blue

This is a nice composition, but I think the lighting is hurting your 'color' theme. the title suggests three colors, but the lighting is not making those colors dominant in the image... - setzler

This is an excellent portrait and the composition is nice. The 'color' doesn't really seem to be the most important element of the photo and the color isn't really increasing the impact of the image... - setzler

Freddy

freddy is cute :) I think the lighting may be just a little harsh.. i'm assuming this is from the camera flash... when doing a closeup like this with a flash, it can help to cover the flash with tissue paper or something similar to reduce the harshness of it... - setzler

Hi Swash...

I like your theme and the photo seems to relay that theme very well... The watches do seem to be suspended in mid air.

What puzzles me about this photo is that the watches don't seem to be very sharp and crisp like I would expect them to be from a shot with the 717 camera. Looking at this image, I would assume that there was a lot of light on the scene, but looking at your exposure information, I would assume this was incorrect based on a 1/2" exposure time.

Maybe the post processing to make the background white is what caused the watches to not be as sharp. I noticed that no one commented on the sharpness though so maybe it didn't play much of a role in the score..

Keep up the good work :)

Hi Mark...

Your photo definitely shows how time catches up with everything eventually :) I like 'rustic' and rural type images like this one quite a bit.

The contrast bump you made to the image seems to work well, but, in my humble opinion, I think the color is a bit strong. When I set out to achieve a feeling of old, I generally choose black and white or a sepia toned image to enhance that feeling. I'm not sure what the result of that would be on this particular image because of the red paint on the truck... Red sometimes gives a bland grey when converted.

Your composition is excellent... the hanging tag really sets this shot off and makes it quite strong...

Keep up the great work :)
