Beauty Becomes A Sunset
by LERtastic

Comment by Konador:
Composition: 5 - Nice placement of the horizon and the negative space at the top works well.
Technical: 4 - A bit of overexposure in the sun and parts of the clouds.
Creativity: 5 - I've seen sunsets before and nothing in this one makes it really stand out.
Appeal: 5 - Interesting colours and forground silhouettes but it doesnt hold my interest all that long.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 5

great shot. the expression is priceless. wonderful composition and exposure. perhaps a slight darkening on the very bottom of the image would draw the eye inward more.

I'm stunned this didn't score higher. I think that's the first time I've left such a comment, so I really mean it. I probably would've voted this a 7.

Nice job!

First Impressions: Cute...funny....but something is definitely fishy about this photo...

-------------------------------------------------------------

Composition: The composition is good. I like the dimensionality it delivers. I do feel you needed just bit more on the bottom. The female model's outfit has a knot tied to her top that get's cut-off and kinda distracts. But other than that, good comp.

Subject: Fun subjects. Cute sexy female. Very expressive male. And well...a fish. There is a button that the male model is wearing that greatly distracts IMHO. But that's about it.

Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Okay, this is where I've got to knock the photo a bit. The colors are bright the blue works nicely, but the faces and skin tones come across far to red. Perhaps some selective de-saturation of the reds.

The lighting fades nicely. And does well with the shadows. However, there is a lot of noise and I feel the image could be sharper.

Creativity: Definitely points on this one for creativity and humor.

-------------------------------------------------------------

To improve?: Focus and color processing.

Summary: Fun shot, I scored this a 6.

He looked really disapointed, left and came back about 30 - 45 min later with a new board. The kid was pretty good.
