Greetings from the Critique Club.
Your photo has a funny title and idea which I mentioned in my first comments during the voting stage.
I think the perspective might have worked better had you been down on their level so that you aren't actually looking down on the subjects. The shadows work against you, so maybe shooting it at a different time of day might have eliminated that problem and showcased the coloration of their clothing a bit more. The focus is fine but undermined a little by the shadowing. It made the "dunce" face almost halfway eliminated and a very expressive face might've conveyed the dumb look I think you were going for. As for the lazy one, I think a different pose would work better so that you could see her face too, maybe with her eyes rolling up as if to say "me?" That might have added to the humor of it over just lying in the grass. I would have had the girls in front of a solid backdrop (maybe a sheet or something without pattern) which would help from the distraction of the clapboard of the side of the house.
You are most certainly onto something and I think with a little tweaking this idea could serve you well. All the best in your future challenges!!!

| i really like your choice of contrasting background...though i wish you used it more compellingly. I'm sure it was unintended but your shot needs a window because pc just got thrown out of it. |

| A creative take on the challenge. I like the long horizontal composure, although your "dumb" model looks more grumpy at having to wear that hat - poor thing (and a good sport). |

| The shadows / contrast is awfully strong. The "dunce" is missing half her face, so some of the emotion I think you were going for is lost. I think the heavy lines of the clapboards take away from the photo as well, and is a bit bright. |

| Great idea, a bit too much shadows? If the liying down girl was a little bit closer, it would be a great shot. |

| Now this really has something to do with the challenge! =) Fun shot as well as great technically. The lines just seem to be leading the eye to the girl and the green tones are great as well. The fact that you used Shadows/Highlights in photoshop (I'm guessing) made a slight halo around the "dumb" and I think that's a great detail. The only thing that's bothering me is the fact that the "dumb"'s shadow is falling on the "lazy"'s head, this could have been avoided by positioning "dumb" at the end of "lazy"'s feet. Still a great shot. |

Well done. 6. |

Funny!
The background of siding is too distracting for an otherwise great concept! |
