FIRST IMPRESSION: Beautiful composition and a great subject.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: The composition of this shot is excellent. I can't suggest anything to improve it.
TECHNICAL: Esposure is perfect for this shot. The long depth of field adds a lot to it. Your apparent patience in waiting for just the right moment to take this shot paid off well.
CONCLUSION: Your photographs are consistently outstanding, and this one is no exception. It is a privilege to be assigned one of your photographs to critique.

FIRST IMPRESSION: A bit confusing, took me a little while to get it, but worth the effort.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: I think the composition of this shot is excellent. I like the angle you took it at. If you had excluded the map, the shot would have bee too confusing; included any more of it and it would have been boring. This is just enough to provide context. The reflection overlaying the shot of the road in the background
TECHNICAL: Exposure, depth of field and color are all appropriate.
CONCLUSION: An excellent shot, and it's a shame this didn't score better. Unfortinately I think the main thing that hurt your score is the fact that the viewer needs to look at this for a good bit of time to fully understand it, and many voters do not take that kind of time when voting. I personally feel this is an excellent shot that deserved to place much higher.

FIRST IMPRESSION: Good idea for the challenge, but the shot is way too dark in my opinion.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: There is a lot of wasted space in this shot in my opinion. This shot would have been better if you could have moved in or zoomed closer to your subject.
TECHNICAL: This shot is so dark that most of the detail is lost. A 1/2000 sec exposure is far too short at F/8 for this light.
CONCLUSION: An interesting theme. More experimentation with exposure times and aperture and excluding extraneous items may help strengthen your photography.

FIRST IMPRESSION: Great idea for the challenge, I was hoping someone would do this. Well done, though it's a shot with kids it doesn't come off as a pointless kid shot.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: Composition of the individual images and the triptych is excellent.
TECHNICAL: All technical aspects are good; use of a consistent, non-distracting background helps significantly.
CONCLUSION: Am excellent series of shots. Though some of the comments conflict, I like the repetition added by including Isaac twice.

FIRST IMPRESSION: Good idea for the challenge. The separation between shots is not as clear as it could be, though.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: As mentioned a more distinct separation between the shots would be helpful here. Perhaps you could have picked up the maroon and gold from the 9632 sign for frame colors. Also, the 2nd and 3rd shots are a little too tight for my taste, in contrast to the first shot which is obvious, the other two leave me wondering what I am looking at.
TECHNICAL: Exposure seems slighly hot, especially on the middle shot.
CONCLUSION: A good idea, better in my opinion if you'd showed us more in the 2nd and 3rd shots and separated the images better.

| 05/11/2003 11:26:18 PM | Hurray, spring is finally here!by MorganComment: *Critique Club*
FIRST IMPRESSION: Good framing and combination, great action shots, but the size limitations probably hurt you a bit here.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: Excellent composition in the individual photographs and the overall composition. The individual images are a bit small and you could have given yourself more room to work with by going top to bottom.
TECHNICAL: Given the range you had to work with (probably in excess of 5 stops from tehe black nose to the white fur) you did quite well with the exposure. You may have been able to keep the shutter open for just a touch longer, but this is certainly closer to perfect than I could have gotten it
CONCLUSION: A great series of shts, it's a shame this didn't score higher.

| 05/11/2003 11:22:38 PM | The Airplane: Making the world smallerby loz1Comment: *Critique Club*
FIRST IMPRESSION: Different take on the challenge than most, but it works.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: The most bothersome item about the composition is the tilt; this might have worked better from straight on, shooting slightly forward rather than from the side. Also, the inclusion of tourism books and a passport conflicts with the use of warplane models.
TECHNICAL: Esposure is good; use of sepia gives this an old-time feel, but the particular tone is a bit more red that most sepia photographs.
CONCLUSION: An interesting take, but some of the items are inconsistent with each other, which probably left voters a bit confused.

| 05/11/2003 09:03:04 AM | Where Metal meets Metalby SKatragaddaComment: *Critique Club*
FIRST IMPRESSION: Good abstract, lighting makes this shot difficult.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: Composition within the flarme is good; however, I personally feel that the choice of a wheel that is right at a switching point (and thus the inclusion of the wheel guards and the track for the other direction) adds conflicting lines to the shot.
TECHNICAL: Exposure on the wheel is excellent, ground and track however are a bit washed out. Shooting shooting in different light may improve this a bit. Also, as there is very little color in this image I wonder if you tried converting to black and white. This would help emphasize form over color, which could benefit your shot.
CONCLUSION: A good idea but I feel the execution is not quite there. If you have an opportunity, spending some time reshooting this may be a worthwhile learning experience.

| 05/10/2003 10:22:39 AM | Tiny Transportationby madison61Comment: *Critique Club*
FIRST IMPRESSION: Good composition, cute twist on the subject!
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge even if these aren't transportation quite yet. Maybe they're more of a concept vehicle at this point? ;-)
COMPOSITION: Excellent composition, the position of th efeet relative to each other leads the eye in a circle and helps keep the viewer's eye in the shot. The blankets also help with this.
TECHNICAL: Good exposure and lighting. The light is strongest on the toes, which are the most interest aspect of this shot. The black and white helps accentuate shape and lighting over color, which is a good idea here. The disadvantage in this shot is that the black and white also leads the texture of the blanket to compete with your subject for the viewer's attention.
CONCLUSION: A strong entry, unfortunately black and white almost always gets mixed reviews here, especially when it produces both benefits and drawbacks as it did in this case.
