This is cute, but personally, I'd like to see more light thrown up under the umbrella.

A good idea, but it seems a little too staged for my taste.

Man, those kids can emote!

I'm not a fan of the sheet backdrop, and the lighting looks a little flat. I'd recommend pulling them a few feet away from the backdrop to reduce the shadows and using a more open aperture to blur out the details of the backdrop.

good idea, but i see too much grey here, i'd like to see this photograph with more contrast (more white and more black)...

Hello! You have requested a comment from the critique club:

First Impression/Opinion: there is a lot going on here. my eyes are kind of drawn all over the place. The lens flare is also not helping you in this image. I think if you were able to zoom in on just the two main statues it would have improved your image drastically.

Composition: A tighter crop would have helped draw the viewers eyes to the main subjects (statues). i think maybe even a horizontal shot may have helped also to draw the attention right where is should be, because i find myself looking at the lower half of the shot which has nothing really visually appealing.

Post Processing: If it were my image i would have added a lot more emphasis on the sky! those clouds have a lot of potential to be breathtaking! A black and white version of this may have been interesting to see as well.

Challenge Criteria: fits the challenge.

My Vote: I gave this image a 6 during voting

Good luck on your future challenges!

very flat (no contrast), the composition is a bit weak

Image meets challenge but washed out. Try place your hand or a newspaper, hat, something over the lens to reduce flare.
