Greetings from the Critique Club

Oh dear,Oh dear, Oh dear! I have read your comments and it appears some of our voters have limited vocabularies and lack the ability to define words.

Okay, nothing we can do about that now. This is a totally appealing image of a little kid with a (sort of) cheesy smile. He's too cute to make it come off, really. Nevertheless, it, in my opinion, does meet the Challenge.

Compositionally, I like it, mostly. The door handle is intrusive; it would have been better if you could have blocked it off. And of course, for framing purposes, you can do that now. This image cries to be framed and shown off. I do like the muted white of the door. Perhaps you could blur the whole thing out so just a suggestion of light remains.

Then, the child's chin is close to the edge of the frame. You might think about leaving more space there so he doesn't look cut off.

I'll look forward to seeing more of your entries in DPChallenge.

Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile.

Cute child and technically a good photo. It's off topic in my opinion, "Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile."

Where's the cheese?

IMHO the challenge called for actual cheese, not an example of the cliche. It's a pretty good photo, which saved you from a '1' but not on target enough for me.

Say Cheese!: The old photographer's cliché is now a challenge topic. Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile.

I hate to be playing English teacher here or come off as a DNMC critic, especially that English is NOT my native language but dissecting the description makes it pretty clear:
USE CHEESE as the SUBJECT of your photo to make YOUR AUDIENCE SMILE.

Based on the capitalized letters I had the following expectations in this challenge:
1. There would be cheese (even if implied) in the photo (Cheddar, Swiss, Gouda...etc). This cheese would be the SUBJECT of the photo. (Subject - Synonyms: matter, topic, theme. These nouns denote the principal idea or point of a speech, a piece of writing, or an artistic work.)

2. This is open to discussion but by Audience I would assume either the voters, or, someone in the photo looking at cheese

3. the photo would be somewhat funny as to make me smile.

After reviewing your photo, I feel it does not meet the challenge either because there is no cheese in the photo or because it's not funny. Or both.

Background distracting, minus 2 points for lack of cheese.

I see no cheese. I'm getting sick of saying this. The challenge stated that you are supposed to incorporate "cheese" as your subject, not that you should take portrait-shot of a smiling person.

This is one of many in this challenge that failed to photograph the subject noun matter - cheese!
12/14/2005 05:34:02 PM
Nice b/w but the background is disturbing.
