Beautiful photo of a cute little boy, but not for this challenge. I don't even understand your title. This is beautiful, and probably and 8 or 10 for a "cliche" challenge. For this challenge it is nothing. And that's a shame.

Good perspective shot. All the chrome with the red is very pretty/striking. Framing - looks good to me! Color - I don't see anything wrong/bad there either. Focus - seems perfect to me. The sun flares in the chrome aren't really bad, but I've never met a flare that I truly liked. Interest - moderate to high, mostly due to the chrome and red. 8 Swash

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I think this is an excellent before and after shot... I particularly like the composition of the glass on the right side of the frame. The 'path' of the glass creates a nice leading line as well. The contrast of the glass against the bean background also adds a nice element to this photo.

The only area I can see for some possible improvement is the lighting... there is a strange gradient in the 'path' in the beans that looks slightly strange... I don't know if any additional depth of field would help that or not...

Keep up the great work :)

This is neat. It's a busy photo, but those red lines really tie it all together and give your eyes something to focus on. Interesting and different and creative.

Initial thoughts
Beautiful composition, meets the challenge, colors are stunning

Composition/ Content
I feel like I can almost smell it we are so close. Focus, lighting and exposure are all super.

Background
The shallow DOF works well here and the light green color works well as a background.

Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good and contrast is excellent. You've really got a killer shot. Some folks may want to see the entire flower but I think this is right on.

Digital Processing - Technical
I'm trying to come up with something helpful here but basically you have an almost perfect technical shot IMHO.

Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.

My Opinion On The Photo
Super shot that probably deserves a ribbon. The quality of shots this week were incredible though. Great job, and keep up the good work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

Cute photo. Your waldo is very easy to spot. Very good color, lighting is pretty good, framing works well enough. 7 Swash
