IS MY BLUE RIBBON IN THERE?

Meeting the challenge: 4/5, technique/composition: 2.5/5, total score (rounded up): 7. The caption doesn't really add to this photo, but happily, I don't judge that :) If you draw a line down the center of the photo from top to bottom, I *really* like the right half. Too badd that the man on the left is blurred... the expression on the horse's face really captures waiting...

meeting the challenge: 0/5, technique/composition: 2/5, for a score of 2. I don't understand the concept for waiting. The overall composition of the photograph isn't bad, although I think the path would have looked a bit better if more to the left of the photograph. The photo appears a bit under-exposured.

Meeting the challenge: 1/5, technique/composition: 5/5, for a total score of 6. I quite like the photograph, which conveys 'hungry' to me more than 'waiting', which I can get from the caption, but not from the photograph on its own. Great catch of a photo....

meeting the challenge 1/5, technique/composition: 4/5, for a total score of 5. I rather like the silhouette effects, and the lens and solarflares are quite nice. Unfortunately, without the caption, this one doesn't scream 'waiting' to me, although I understand it.

1/5 for meeting the challenge, 2/5 for technique, composition - total score, 3.. The composition is quite nice, but the depth of field is so shallow that elements of the subject are blurred; the overall contrast seems a bit too high, and the background a bit too dark.

Waiting for the Free Bus

3 out of 5 for meeting the challenge, 2 of 5 for the technique/composition.... while the blur of the bus creates interest, the blur of the left hand human being is a bit distracting...

He sure does seem to be waiting :) 4/5 for meeting the challenge, 3/5 for technique and composition. Overall photo is a bit dark; cropping seems a bit close side to side.

Over Here! No Waiting!

Rating: 3/5 for concept (aka meeting the challenge), and 3/5 for technique, for a score of 6. If you had rotated yourself to be to the left of the port-a-potty waiting line, perhaps you could have cut out some of the distracting left hand background?
