Man Stretching at Gas Station

You're too far away for there to be any real focal point. We see a guy stretching, but just barely. In these times I think a lot of people want to see the price of gas too, heh. As I see it, this is just a point and shoot photo made black and white in attempts to make it look better. There needs to be a tighter crop or something to give the audience something to look at.

I don't think this works in color. Your sky is blown and your greens take over.

A crop suggestion:
Drag from the top of the first lightpole (cutting it out of the photo) down to the 3rd road line and drag over cutting out some of the right side.

This gets rid of a lot of that overwhelming green and blown out sky. It also gets rid of the chopped light pole and brings you closer to your subject while still carrying you through the photo with the road lines.

I like the angle, but there's too much activity in the reflection. Not to mention you're in the photo 6 times. There's a girl in a bikini above the first M. If you would have made something like that more the focus I think you'd score better. At least with the guys.

Because there is SO much fine detail in this photo your eye gets lost. The eye loses the trolly which is your focus. If you cut out the whole right half of the image and some of the bottom you get a better sense of movement from the trolly.

On a side note while I was playing with this image in PS I noticed something. If you Desaturate it, do color Varations, then bump the Contrast this photo makes a great vintage looking photo. In normal color it's quite obvious that it's a train set, but the eye can almost be fooled by taking all the colors out and just having the one overlay color. If the plants were more to scale you could travel in time.

I wish I knew what I was looking at. I'm not sure many people are going to know what they're looking at to be honest. The tilted angle isn't helping me figure it out either. So while my brain is trying to process what the subject is the photo is spinning! It hurts man.. it hurts! This would work if everyone knew what they were looking at. If it was product ad it might work.

I like the look and texture of the floor.. but I just can't look at this anymore, heh.

My eye goes straight to the blurry "walk" sign, because it's almost dead center and is the brightest element of the photo. If the background didn't have that focus point my eyes would be more inclined to focus on the girl. One thing that could be done to lighten up the lower right and bring more attention to the girl might be to brighten up the watch band? Oddly this is one of those photos that probably would have done better had it been shot 1 second later once you go through that intersection and got that walk sign out of the center.

I am going to bump my rating on this photo from my original score. It is better than average. I like the idea.. the timing was just a bit off..

Baby toes!

As much as I love baby fingers, the hand at the top is distracting. The strongest element of this photo is the shadows on the bottom left foot against the patterns of the blanket. I hope you don't mind, but I tried a few crops in PS just to see if a tighter crop would have accented the shadows more, but nothing I did looked right. I think the elements are there, but the angle seems to be fighting it.

I think what people are going to want to see is more contrast with the white against the dark background. As it is now, it sorta blends in and nothing really stands out. I like that you caught the two pods flying away. I hope this photo doesn't suffer the wrath of the "doesn't meet challenge" brigade. I think the idea is very much "Transportation."

Sadly this is horribly grainy. It still works despite that, because the eye is drawn to the busy waters and the riders.
