CC CLub here!!

This looks like it would be a very busy place!

1st Impression is my eye is going straight to the the blue hand cart. I would crop out the cart, I know it takes away from from o the scene, but you still get the impression of a very busy and long narrow market place. Also n doing this, you will cut out some of the blown out lights you have on the left hand side. I see that you ISO was 400, I would have chosen a fast shutter speed for this indoor shot as it could be a little sharper, or you could have bumped up the ISO. You will get more grain with this though.

In the post processing time, some sharpening would have gone a long way with this shot, a little more contrast would have helped with the depth of your items that are on each side. Your horizon is a little tilted as well, this can be straightened out a touch.

Overall, a good shot, I can't wait to see more from you

Well, there are definitely no children in this shot. It is a very good shot, very crisp and sharp , great skin tones, I have to admit though, he looks like a young teenager with a gun, almost scary.

I am not sure if there is much else that could be done with this shot, maybe black and white, but I would say it is more photojournalist than anything else.

Keep shooting!

Hell from the CC club,

Gorgeous shot, almost perfection apart from a couple of little niggling things I can see. The border is rather large and does take away from the shot a little. I am a lover of dark photographs, so I am especially enjoying this one, but I do think that you should have just a tad bit lightened the horizon. If i tilt the laptop, i can see trees in the background, granted there are also some light posts and houses, but maybe just a little lightening.

excellent shot

Critque Club,

First Impressions, Lovely night shot.
Second Impression, the first thing that stands out to me is the blue in teh water, it is almost blown out. In fact all the blues are very luminous and over exposed. Even though you used only ISO100, the dark sky does is coming across as fairly grainy.

You are tack sharp in this shot though, I personally think the border is a little heavy for this shot and would have benefited from a thinner one or not one at all.

Overall, an excellent shot that deserved it placement.

Critique Club,

First Impressions, AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW how cute!!!!!!!!!!!

Second Impressions, it appears to be a little soft. Eyes in portraits usually have to be tack sharp. I believe that a lot could have been done in post processing with her eyes, there is an amazing tutorial on how to make eyes pop on here. A little crop on the right would have really made the baby stand out.

Overall, a gorgeous shot.

Hi from the Critique club!

I bet your heart was racing when you took this shot, excellent shot.

This looks like it was straight out of the camera, a little more post procesing would have really made this shot outstanding. You have such clarity in her eyes that with a little saturation they would have been amazing. The sharpening is spot on and brings out great details.

A little more contrast would not have hurt this at all and given some more depth. I am not one for cropped off ears or heads, but in this shot, it really works.

Well done on your placement it was well deserved.

Hello from the Critique Club!!

I am not sure why I joined the Critique Club when all I seem to get are these amazing shots. It is making my job very hard.

I love the mood that you have set with the blacks and whites. The grain really pops out and brings out more details on the building and especially the door. The different textures you have going on here are splendid. THe buttery white of the goat, is in excellent contrast to the rest of the shot.

The ISO being at 400 helped along with the SP setting. The only thing is I would crop just a tad bit off teh top of your shot so that the full attention is on the goat and his surrounding area. There is too much black at the top and I am searching for details there.

I can see this in a shop selling like hotcakes, well done!

A totally brilliant image. I am not sure what to say as the image speaks volumes just in its self. The positioning is perfect, the sharpens and details on the ATV are tack sharp. The blur of a perfectly formed horse in the background makes this shot perfect. The colour is right, i think going a bit blue may have spoilt this capture. I am tilting my head just a fraction to the right, so a tiny straightening may be in order.

Hello from the Critique Club,

Pffft, make my job hard why don't you, this is an amazing shot.

It can clearly be seen, that this is in the wild with the gorgeous blues of the sea behind the rock face. The background is nicely blurred, the birds are tack sharp and it is an overall excellent shot.

The only thing I can see would be to crop a bit off the top, there is too much space there and the focus would be more on the birds. 1/800th to capture this, they really are fast!

Well done on this excellent shot and the favs it got. I am now off to fav it too!
