A few things wrong here. It looks like just a plain snap shot. Lighting is direct nothing creative here. Focus is good. Composition is plain and again no creativity. Too many distractions here. The mike, his hand needed to be cropped a bit lower and eyes are closed. Nice shot forf memory just nothing explosive here for a challenge

This shot falls short of the challenge but don't let that bother you. Overall it's a very nice and creative shot. The only problem I find with this shot is the hand is a bit over exposed. The colors are very nice and striking. Focus is lacking just a bit and could have been a bit sharper. Composition is is great. Very creative here. Well done and keep up the good work.

Wow I am very impressed. The composition is wonderful. Very well balanced and I especially like the way it flows from one side of the picture to the other. I tried to find a distraction and the closest thing would be the headless guy on the left. The colors are absolutely amazing. VERY nice and smooth. You did especially well here. Lighting was nicely done here also. The focus and DOF are perfect. It flows through the entire picture. I am very impressed with this shot. Now I must tell you after writing the critique I find out you are 14. I now hand you the WOW factor. I can't seem to find the right words to tell you how doubley impressed I am. You are on your way to a very impressive career in photography. I wish you the best of luck in your future and I thank you for the opportunity to see such an impressive shot.

This is at best a decent snapshot I am sorry to say. The hairy heads are very distracting and in need of shampoo and conditioning. Ok seriously now... A better crop without the fore ground would benefit. I don't know if you planned it but, I like how the guitar cought the lighting focusing your attention on it. The focus is ok it may be my monitor but could be a little sharper. The over all lightening is a bit dark could have been a little lighter but, I know you had no control there.. Composition is fine (except the heads). Everything else leads to just an average snap shot. Would have loved to heard the tune he was ripping.

Well I always say "photography is 30% skill and 70% luck" this situation just cements my theory. The picture is nicely done. I wouldn't have admitted to the rush shot though. It could have been a shot that was very well thought out. Too bad there. Focus seems to be done well. It captures the detail in the rain well and the DOF fades off nicely. The color is pretty cool. Not sure where it was cast from but it looks great. Lighting could have been a bit better but obviously you had no control there. Everything else just falls into place. Congrats on a very "Lucky" shot.

Though you can tell it wasn't an out door shot I was still so impressed with it I didn't really mind. Everything here seems to be very pleasing. DOF was nicely done and doesn't pick up anything distracting in the rear. Focus is fantastic VERY detailed. The colors are smooth and soft. The lighting is perfect and thats what gives away the indoor shot. I was very impressed with the artisitic approach you show here. Although it might fall short of the challenge I am still impressed with the shot. Very nice work. Two (green) thumbs up.

This fits the challenge very nicely. The pictures looks like an authentic antique photo. You did well with the sepia and tones. The focus isn't too sharp which would have been so in this era and really lends itself to the photo. The paper is a bit too white though. It should have been a little dirtier and yellow to fit better. The composition is a bit dull. It doesn't pop out or have any character. It could have been just a bit lighter. But, that adds to the antique look. overall I think you did very well. I would like to know where you managed to find a typewriter in this day and age? Very nicely done.

Very nice picture. A couple of distractions but no big deal. What ever is in the fore ground could be cropped a little. The power poles are a little distracting. The subject needed to be a little clearer in the detail to confirm it is wood but that too is minor. Color and contrast or good considering you didn't use all the meg pixels available. Over all I really do like the picture. It is very nicely done. Would look wonderful in a frame on a wall near a window. Congrats, nicely done

Interesting concept here. Maybe not my favorite but still interesting none the less.I would have done away with the Disc ware. With out it is show a very interesting texture. The lighting is ok and as is the composition. There is room for improvement in the DOF. It could have been brightend a touch and would have showed nicely. keep up the good work
