Christmas Season is Upon Us ( small town news)by
SonifoComment by jimmsp: (1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) - Good idea to include two lighted reindeer. I just don’t like the position of the one on the right – nose is buried. But I also like the apparent lack of new footprints in the snow.
(2) BACKGROUND – The “pole” 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 – 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 – Very good. You have the snow white, not gray.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO – 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. – a crisp winter night. Overall, well better than average.
