Hi Imagineer...

This is an excellent photo and it was one of my 'tens' in this challenge. This photo shows a perfect example of 'beneficial' lens flare. It's hard to achieve when I actually want it. The sun and the flare set a nice mood for this photo. The people seem to be enjoying themselves and relaxing in the warmth of the early morning sun. Maybe this is a group of students waiting for class to begin... having coffee... some last minute studying and dicussion about an exam...

Excellent shot :)

Hi Bobdaveant...

This photo meets the challenge and makes a good black and white image. Subjectively, there isn't much here to work with. There isn't a strong storyline or emotive force rising out of the image.

I think this photo meets the challenge but the colors look to unrealistic for my taste. I can't really offer you much more than that. The color is the subject of the image and there isn't much beyond that to discuss...

Hi Ziggi...

I can't offer you much critique on this photo. It meets the challenge in a small way and not much more. The focus here is a bit soft and the depth of field is not very appropriate for this image. I can't find any artistic value in the image.

Hi Shadowfax...

Sidenote: I'm listening to "Folksongs for a Nuclear Village" as I write this critique :)

This is a nice photo and I like most of what I see. The horizon tilt is not a good thing in this photo though. Also, as far as challenges are concerned, your score probalby suffered because your 'framing' element is not the primary impact of this photograph. It's a smaller secondary 'supportive' element. This particular image may have also made a stronger vertical shot as well....

Hi Scotts...

This photo meets the challenge. It feels a bit weak in overall visual appeal though. The 'framing' feels a bit overpowering compared to the subject. Maybe a different time of day would produce a higher impact photo in this case. The haze makes the subject a bit 'muddy' and a lot of detail is lost.

This is simply beautiful. This is probably the best execution of this technique that I have seen. It's definitely my favorite. = 10
