Hard Worker?

Comment by Gracious:


Yeah...lol I bet that is "Hard at work" for lots of people. This meets the challenge well and the colors work well together.
The focus is a little soft, but it's not easy to focus on yourself...u can't be in two places at the same time.
Overall, this idea is good, and has potential. I'd recommend using a model other than yourself, so you can concentrate on composition and focus.

Great colors in this shot. This is a super idea that could've been capitalized on a lot better. I would've expanded it some. Maybe have the whole top shelf nothing but beer bottles except one little pint size milk carton or something like that. - inspzil

a milk bottle squeezed in would have been better, this looks like a packet of potatoe chips or duritos.

I got this idea from a Seinfeld episode where George slept under his desk when he worked for the Yankees. So I stole this idea. But at least I'm not the only one who took someone elses idea and twisted it to be funny.

Hmm, I like this image, it's pretty well executed but I would say it does not jump out at me as "landscape" it's more of a "seascape+cityscape" since emphasis here seems to be on the water and the fishing house(?).

Composition wise, I think the foreground is a bit distracting here. The anchoring the frame to that didn't do the photo justice as I would have rather seen the house not cut off. Another thing I noticed is that you did not place the horizon directly in the center, it's definitely a good idea but I think you should have framed more sky and less water.

It also looks a bit flat and grey. It looks like this was an overcast day so it's kind of hard to liven up a scene that's like that.You really can't alter the landscape at will so I would not worry about it too much.

It's definitely sharp and I like a lot of detail in the house.

This shot feels too dark. Maybe could be brightened up with Photoshop. Would have been a great shot on a sunny day with a blue sky. Still a nice composition. 7

IMHO this looks like a simple snapshot. Light is dull; there are unatractive shadows all over the place; the white fabric in the lower right is overexposed, and the focus is off. The humorous aspect is week.

This shot sure shows something different, but I like that. I dont like black and white much, but it adds a lot to this shot. The rock formation in the foreground really adds to the shot. The only part I would change if at all possible would be to get rid of the tiny bit of rock on the lower right corner, but it does nothing detrimental to the effect. 8.
