blown wallpaper highlights are distracting here

Nice piece of furniture, evenly lit with the content well visible. All that at the cost of clearer definition to set the item off against its background. Caters for the dowdy.

This is the kind of image you should use on EBay if you were selling this lovely piece of furniture. There is nothing creative or interesting about your shot at all. sorry :-(

Not a bad image, but seems a little "snap shot-ish". It lacks the "wow" factor many look for in a free study challenge, IMHO.

I like this shot. It has emotion in it. I can feel myself walking up the street and meeting this couple.

I agree that the crop is a bit tight on the left hand side. The bag is cut off a little. The crop makes feel a bit crowded. I like how it's cropped off at the bottom, with the wheel and the foot being cut off, that shows the movement of the people in that direction.

The desaturation works really well for this, as it does most street shots. The whites seem a little blown out, especially the top of the hat, the sky and the building behind them. So much as the top of the hat blends into the sky with no distinction between them.

Hope this helps. Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions or comments to this. And, as always, if it's helpful, please mark the check box.

This appears to be a good shot in the making. I think it would benefit from a lower (and perhaps further) perspective.

It's a little bit too dark for my taste. May be better with a little more light on the child's face?
