You know... I take my minor nitpick back. I just realized that the reflection makes the clock look like it has wings.. I like it more now!

Counting Down Time with a Paper Chain

Initial impression:
Nice colors, distracting shadows, jumbled composition.

Challenge:
I admit that I didn't see the connection to time when I voted on this picture, but after reading the comments I now see the connection. Very creative and neat idea. I remember those days fondly.. Unfortunately I've found it doesn't pay to be too creative around here.

Composition/Creativity:
I'm not sure what to say here. The composition feels jumbled and messy, but I have a feeling that's caused by the shadows.

Technical/Post-Processing:
This is where this photo lets me down. The flash is far too harsh. Try more light without the flash nexttime!

Overall:
Not a strong/apparent enough reference to time. Flash. Good idea and great colors though!

Frozen Time

Initial impression:
Cold, nice idea, missing something

Composition/Creativity:
This is a good idea and I like that in a photo. The composition is good, though I think I'd like to see more space around the sides of the subject. The reflection adds interest but also clutters the photo a little.

Technical/Postprocessing:
Exposure and lighting are very good, the a bit more contrast could have been added in post processing to add that extra little bit of punch.

Overall:
Great idea, executed well. Should have scored higher in my opinion! Keep up the good work!

Stormy Times

Greets from the Critique Club!

Initial Impression:
Interesting composition, colors seem a bit off, focus seems soft.

Challenge:
Meets the challenge fine

Composition/Creativity:
This is the strongest point of this photo in my opinion. The angle that you shot this at is very interesting... Diagonals tend to make pictures seem more dynamic and it does just that in this picture. My only problem is the tree.. It clutters the view. I would prefer to just see the clock and the clouds! I think it would have give the photo a cleaner look and much more visual impact!

Technical/Post processing:
The exposure is good in my opinion. Some may say the sky is a bit underexposed, but that just serves to frame the clock, good job. For some reason this photo feels fuzzy to me, I think an unsharpen-mask would have sharpened things up and removed that minor irritation.

Overall:
An interesting photo, good eye! If it was clean and simple, it would have had more of the "wow" factor.. Keep up the good work!

Triptych: Old Faded Emotions

This is an ingeneous idea and I really like the way you've done it. It took me a little while to figure out how exactly you did it, but I think I know now. (Or at least I know how I'd do it!)

Of course, this pic meets the challenge very well. Techinically it's outstanding, however I have two main gripes. One, the emotions do seem very forced. Two, on the picture on the right I don't like the intensity of the light. Other than that this is perfect.


Good job!

I'm not sure if I like this or not.. It has a rather strange appeal to it but I'm not sure about the post processing. I really like the colors though!

Good lord this is just wonderful! The clouds, the reflections, the illusions. I can't think of anything I'd change about it. Great Job!

Don't like theborder at all. The rest of the picture seems a bit dark, but I like the concept!

If this was bigger it would get a really high score from me, as it is I'll give it a 6
