Christmas Season is Upon Us ( small town news)by
SonifoComment by jimmsp: (1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) - Good idea to include two lighted reindeer. I just donΓ’t like the position of the one on the right Γ’ nose is buried. But I also like the apparent lack of new footprints in the snow.
(2) BACKGROUND Γ’ The Γ’poleΓ’ on the left is quite distracting; especially since the one reindeer seems to be looking at it. Could you have rotated a bit to your left? The snow fall on top of old prints (?) give the ground some texture, which is really nice.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Γ’ Quite good. The exposure is right on, as is the focus. Perhaps a smaller DOF would have helped hide the background.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Γ’ Very good. You have the snow white, not gray.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO Γ’ When I first looked at this photo, I had two different reactions. First, I liked the reindeer on the left, but not the one on the right. Second, I like the lighting and overall exposure. Γ’ a crisp winter night. Overall, well better than average.
