Gone to get fuel for the mower, I hope! Interesting photograph, made especially so by the person (is it mother?) in the background. I like the dark, gothic tones, but not so much the theatrical processing of the sky. 7
The gaussian blur here for the sky seems a bit harsh especially since the edges of the house is now a lot sharper. Was it due to an overcast sky or no sky at all? I do like the composition and the look of the little boy. He seems a little pissed that dad isn't home yet ;)
The sky doesn't look right but I love the rest of the photo. The tones are great. Fix the sky and this would be a 10. As is - 8. Good luck in the challenge.
like the ambience of the shot ... I also like the dramatic light on the kids ... the older person in the back corner is more of a distraction than an addition to me.
Not sure about this shot. It invokes a sense of poverty and desparation to me - not family other than the title. Nicely shot - well composed. Could be a little brighter/a little less processing on the sky.
I like the composition and tones but the sky just looks over edited to me to the point were the dark clouds look like they have been created in PS even if they haven't
The black and white is distracting over in the top right corner where the sky meets the building and the other space that I think is a lake. Maybe just too much in the photo.
This photo has a huge emotional payload I quite like. The stark contrast is very good. Focus is good. DOF is good. I like the woman in the background juxtaposed with the kids in the foreground.I am sorry to see the overly blurred sky and the post processing artifacts along the fence line and the roofline.
This si so close... The stark, harsh tonalities of the main image are wonderful. The soft, blurred sky, especially how it doesn't fit smoothly with the structure, really hurts thi sone in my eyes. I wish you'd gone with a much more natural rendition. There's SO much to love in the rest of it.
