GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

What an interesting photograph you have produced. After reading your comments i am very intrigued by the range of emotion you engendered here. Congratulations! That's not easy to do.

Indeed it is a fine example of perspective and suits the Challenge perfectly. It is 'artistic' rather than a record shot; that is you have interpreted the scene in your own way and style. Nice. I'm not sure why the boy seems almost cut out in the frame. He seems to have a little white halo all around him. Whatever happened there, possibly in post-processing, it works for the story you present. But it may have had something to do with the somewhat average score your image received.

Hard to tell if this would have worked as well with a lighter sky. But that could be one alternative. In any event, this is a good image that obviously worked exactly the way you wanted it to and it received some nice reviews.

You've been involved with DPC for just a few months now, and obviously you are enjoying your participation in the site. I very much appreciated the look at your portfolio.

Best of luck to you in the future!

Alice

Can't see what the off-colour adds to the picture.

Nice action on the waves but too grainy and noisy for my tastes. Also seems a bit underexposed.

This is another of my favourites in this show. 3 with children. Hmn. This one, however, is purely transcendent.

Typical Tafelberg shot, very nice sky and wave stop motion, just a bit too much grain for me to thouroughly enjoy it.

Last minute bump to a 7 because of the excellent perspective

Love the simplicity of this shot. Great angle and well taken.
