exactly the same spot?! burning the snow on the right of the road would help keep the eye in the shot. Kinda draws the eye over and out of the picture.

Greetings from the Critique Club

You had a great idea - as you know, another version of this idea is on the front page, right now. And you scored well on your version as well.

I have two thoughts on why you didn't score even higher than you did (5.39 isn't bad, you know). The white feather boa is a little 'hot' against the white background, and doesn't really stand out very well. A different colored backdrop would have been terrific, but we work with what we have. In such cases, I usually recomment bracketing your shots to get the most out of exposure and depth of field to try to get rid of the hot spots.

The other problem, and a slight one, is the fact that those nice legs had to be held up by hands which showed. If the legs could have been braced diferently, that probably would have made a big difference.

Okay, all that said, you have a splendid image. You were correct to tell your story simply. Too much detail would have destroyed the poetry you have going here.

Keep up the good work. You'll be our youngest front page winner yet.

Interesting clouds but not enough else to hold my attention.

This picture doesn't do much for me, the landscape silhouette isn't very interesting and the clouds not particularly nice or nicely coloured.

Hi Kita

My name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
I like this image ... it is diffent ... and a rather interesting use of your brother ... (even if some people thought he was a girl)

Composition:
I think that the composition worked really well ... photographing at that angle took in the sky and colours beautifully.

Subject:
meets the challenge .. .and meets it wholeheartedly. I think some of t he low scores that have affected the image are more along the lines of philosophical differences e.g. using an angel to portray the devil.

Technical (Colour and light):
Natural light is great ... nice contrasts for the outfit and wig.

To grow its vote?:
Definately not one of your better scoring pictures ... I think that you changes on a regular basis .. and you find what works ... I think this was a good shot.

Summary:
Congrats on the solid finish .. keep up the good work.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Barbie - Wild Horse Run

Comment by Melethia:
I'm not sure I'd consider a Barbie book as "literature" but for the younger set, I guess it may well be. Picture is well composed, a bit bright, but that works.
