I find the angleƂ@of this shot a bit strange, took me a while to realise that it was looking down. I think I would prefer a different angle.

COMPOSITION-CONTENT
I loved the simple composition and content of this, the picture has instant impact. There is no clear focal point of the picture, but the eyes are drawn to the horizon and its lovely that there are no man made objects in the whole picture. I think cropping off the bottom couple of cms might hav been good, to get rid of the darker clouds at the bottom and would bring the more interesting clouds closer to the viewer. Colour is beautiful, the simplicity of the colours and softness of them are beautiful.

BACKGROUND
DOF is great here, and the horizon is nicely in focus. Basically the background is the photo here and the background is gorgeous!

DIGITAL PROCESSING-TECHNICAL
No problems here, could have been possible to add a bit more contrast to bring out the blues of the sky a little more, would have also have to decrease the light though to stop the whites from being blown out. However, I think it is great as it is!

CAMERA WORK-TECHNICAL
The whites in the picture are lovely and clean, they probably couldnt take much more contrast as they would get blown out.

MY OPINION
I really liked this picture, it has the WOW factor! Lovely crisp, clean colours and the simplicity of it is great. Think it would have benefitted from having the bottom darker clouds cropped, to lead the eye more smoothly into the distance. It doesnt relate strongly to the photojournalism theme and so probably lost a few points because of that and not because of the picture itself, I think people were expecting shots with more human impact in them! However, its a great picture and Good Luck with the Blue challenge! Hope that this helps!

The quality of this shot is great, its incredibly crisp clear! The expressions are great and the picture tells a story, but the title doesnt seem to fit the mood of the shot! So far, this is the only shot that I have thought should win. Good Luck Natasha

Yes, the picture telles a story, but I think that the lack of colour doesnt add interest or invite further inspection. I think that you could have cropped off the top and have more of the car s and bicycles in the shot, to make it more even.

I love this photo, the colours of the sky and the silhouette are both great. I dont really think this is strictly photojournalism though, I wonder if a different concept and title would help. Even so, the picture is a favourite already!

A hard shot to take, lovely blue skies and nice composition. Unfortunately the point of interest is just too small in the picture and it is lacking story.

Very strong and powerful image, wonderful composition. I think that a little more light on the eye would be good, but I also like the way you have done it.

Great capture, the only drawback is that the flash is a little too bright .
