Grand Opening

Comment:
This photo needs something, like a thousand people on the outside waiting to get in. As far as grand openings go, this looks more like a regular day. The people being there would make it a whole lot more newspaper worthy - Inspzil

I look at all the lonely people. Eleanor Rigsby, picks up the rice at a church where a wedding has been, lives in a dream..... Strange coincidence with the 4th name on the list - Inspzil

Great colors. Love the reflex. Not sure how journalistic this is, but it is a cool photo. Lighting and exposure are great. I don't know if I'd have framed this quite like this though. Good shot - Inspzil

Lonesome Urban Cowboy

This whole pic looks a bit fuzzy. I'm not exactly sure what this pic would be representing if put in the paper. I would've concentrating on the demolition work being done on the site and left this guy right out of the pic. I guess I'm not seeing his significance in this picture and if he is significant, then focus on him as the prominent subject - Just my thoughts - Inspzil

I'm not seeing the journalism part. The photo part you have down pat. I figured there would be quite a few stretches in this challenge. Very nice pic - Inspzil

Christmas Season is Upon Us ( small town news)

The angle of this shot is not helping the right deer at all. Taken from a lower perspective would've helped show the deer better as well as given this a childs perspective on the shot. The way the lighting is on the snow is great though. I love the way it looks like its glowing. Pic is well framed too with nice use of negative space.

Heavy Lifting

This has potential, but I don't think like this I would expect to see it in the paper. Without the sun so bright and a little more focused on the helicopter, it might make it but with the bright sun like this, without a more dynamic backdrop, it would be on the cutting room floor. - Inspzil

Investigating a Fire

I've haven't critiqued a photo all night, so you get to be the lucky one (which is good). The 2 things I like about this photo is the angle from which it was taken and the incredible DOF. This is a remarkably well taken photo. The lighting is great as far as these conditions go. I like the way the bucket on the aerial looks detached from the boom. I can see the faint skeleton of the boom, but humor me here. I wish the fire engine were a little better lit on the near side. This photo isn't blowing me away, but was interesting enough for me to take a closer look. Good luck! - Inspzil

Overexposing Underexposure

Those are really cool inlays. Definitely hi key. I like the way you can't see the person who is playing this guitar except his arms. I like the perspective on this pic to as far as the angle it was taken. It might not be a front page type shot, but I could see this pic on a page in the entertainment section or the weekend section. Good luck, Inspzil
