It's kind of a straight on shot of some people doing something cool. While there is nothing really bad about the photo, there is nothing really good about it either. AN angle other then eye level, a face with some emotion, it's just missing that extra bite.

wow...what a neat capture! wonderful job on the contrast,colors(i love good strong colors) and focus is spot on. only nit pick is to watch for little detail like the twig in the way. I love that its wings look transparent. love it

Oh...so close with this one. a faster shutter I think would've helped stop his motion while still blurring the BG. great colors on this. I do like that i actually feel the motion of this shot. He must have been flying! keep praticing....it will happen!

Meets the challenge nicely - I love that color yellow. The lighting on the right is a bit harsh, and overall there seems to be a very soft focus, which I'm not particularly fond of. In this case it almost looks like you were too close for your camera to focus properly rather than looking like the soft focus was a deliberate choice.

Gorgeous roses. Seems just barely out of focus.

White ball side pocket - Langdon Feb 2002

Comment by Makka:
* Greetings from the Critique Club *

First up, what a great take on one of Langdon's top photos. The reversal of the white ball and black ball work a treat.

Two things strike me straight away as to why this photo placed where it did. One would be the photo looks dark (on my monitor anyway) and two the focus looks soft!

The crop is almost spot on and has worked well. It would of been nice to get a lot more light on the 8 ball to really make it stand out though, especially where the number is located and this is where I feel the photo has suffered the most. A much brighter image would of done wonders.

As I mentioned about the focus, it looks soft around where the main focal point should be, that being the figure 8 on the ball. The lack of light may make this appear worse than it is perhaps? I found it strange that no one else mentioned the focus in your comments...maybe I'm getting old? ;)

To be honest, I prefer the colour in your photo to Langdon's original (I feel a site ban coming on). The felt colour is a lot nicer on yours.

All up, it was a good effort but the voters didn't click to it. You've got some nice photos in your portfolio and I'm sure it won't be long until we see you featuring higher up the results table. Well done and best of luck with future challenges.
