Germaine,

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, when I picked this photo out of a bunch I shot at the fair something about its disjointed colors and content attracted me. When I was working on it, I actually did try straightening up the perspective lines in Photoshop and when I got it almost perfectly straight I no longer liked it. It seemed to lose the sort of zaniness that attracted me to in in the first place.

I suppose you are right that it would get dinged for the perspective in a challenge!

Nice photo. I really like the composition, and how you even included the rock's reflection in the foreground.

Very nice photograph Paul. Stunningly beautiful, but not in "in your face" kind of way. Does that make any sense? Hopefully. I definately think this is very classy.

I really should proofread first

Very nice photograph. I really like how your subject stands out from the background, and the background is still sharp. A very nice piece of work.

Critique Club here...

Nice image, techncially pretty decent. Sorry for you low score, but I see a weak connection to the challenge topic and the rest I'll get to in a minute.

She has a nice expression, and the pose is nice. Composition is good - the bright white shoulder in the foregound is a bit distracting -perhaps a tight shot of just her face would have had more imapct, or tilt the image to add some energy - not to say the voters would have not pounded you for a tilt...it's just it seems not too exciting.

Pretty...this image is not. Not to say anything against the child, but lacking a full set of peraly whites is not pretty. Also, the redness on her face is off-putting, and she could use a hair brushing. Since this was an advanced editing challenge you (IMO) take a score hit for not fixing the redness. The BG is OOF nicely, but some weird (ugly) color, and justinfront of her neck is a black spot - distracting, and draws my eye to her red chin.

THe black spot and her hair infer that this is a quickie shot with little thought or set up - the voters notice and deduct for such a thing whether true or not.

Lighting is good, as in even. Nothing dramatic, but who says it needs to be in every image, right?

I hope you find this critique helpful and it imrpoves your photography.
