The Foley's - Authority on Antiques

I really like so much about this image that I wish that your subjects weren't so dead center. Nice images behind your subjects on the left of the frame. The right side doesn't work as well for me. The older woman's expression is priceless. I think I would have moved them back and had them surrounded by their wares.

Nice use of line and contrast of line. The shiny clean image certainly match the image of the Mayo clinic I have in my mind's eye. The brilliant blue sky and the shiny metal work so well together. It is rather dizzying, though, which counters the idea of stability I have when I think of the Mayo Clinic. It does give a sense of limitless possibility, so I guess it does work well. I just to have to step back and let go of my preconceived ideas. Nice photo.

people vs authority

Good idea, but choose a focal point. Not all the people seem engaged in challenging whatever is going on. The police or soldiers are hard to see, and I am unsure what they are doing. I would focus on bald man in the white t-shirt. His stance and physical appearance are certainly challenging. He makes a great image. The man in the sunglass distracts from your intent because he seems unconcerned.

Startling in the starkness and then brilliant color. I want something more, maybe the subject's head turned a bit, or less negative space, maybe more contrast in the colors that are there.

Nice use of light and shadow. Great clean lines in the crisp focus, letters, and pen. I would have angled the pen from the other upper corner so that the signature was not obscured by the shadow from pen. The artist did an excellent job by choosing to make the letters so clear and tight at the bottom of the page and then sliding out of focus as they move up the page. Outstanding choice of angle for that aspect. Great image.

Such vibrant colors and clean lines; however, the images compete for dominance. I would change the angle and point of view to let one complement the other, and let one take center stage. The lines of the lighthouse and the fact that the flag is blowing toward the right frame gives this image a feeling of power and hope.

Good use of framing and angle to create the image of one subject towering over the other. The lighting and focus are a bit off. I would like to see facial features for some sort of emotion to pull me in. Again, the power of this photo is how artist used angle and point of view to give the sense of one subject trying to impose his authority over another. It meets the challenge in that way very well.

Great long, elegant lines in this hand. The curve on the ring really complements that. I don't like the color of the background. I am unsure what color would be better, but white diminishes rather than showcases your subject. Great concept, creative and interesting.

The Highest Authority?

Indeed. Nice lighting on the bible and crucifix. The harsh lighting on the candle(?) is distracting for me. I would crop it out and let the power of your main images take centerstage. Really beautiful lighting on the apex of the curve on each page. Stunning image without the distraction from the top.

Powerful image. Great angle and crisp image with a soft background, which works well. I would like to see a greater contrast, blacker blacks and pinker pinks.
