Meets Challenge4
Total Score6

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!

I wonder if he talks to the other toys, ala Velveteen Rabbit?

Seriously, its a well-lit photo of a treasured item with a variety of textures. You can even seethe lumpy insides! The detail is definitely there. I am scoring it in the middle though, because it lacks punch. Do you know what I mean? I keep thinking if there was a child's hand extending into the photo as if leaving the froggie behind or something. It's hard to put my finger on to what would make this POP like some of the other photos do this week. The photo is well-executed technically to my eye. crisa58

Interesting shape. It reminds me or Mr. Potato-head. Nice tones to the B&W. I don't think your choice of background is effective...maybe something plainer than the blinds or a different angle to crop them out. I hope this is a stuffed doll of some sort, cause if it's a cut-up person in a burlap sack and that's your defition of "loved" I'll be really scared :-)

While I see texture in the photo, texture is certainly not the first thing that would come to mind.

Not sure I understand this one. Blinds in background are distracting.

good contrast but what is it? - I read your thread and now know what it is - it does look like a kidnapping victim!
