FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Hello, Bryan,

I'm so glad I got this picture! I loved Pirates of the Caribbean (I've seen it three times). I've never been to Disneyland, and, if my kids wouldn't have told me, I wouldn't have known that it was based on Disney characters.

I think this was a good entry to the "Movies" challenge. It certainly couldn't be anything but that movie!

Your photo is good technically, although the light could be just a tad better. Your crop is very good. There really is not much wrong with the picture (except maybe the light a bit).

So you ask, why didn't it get a higher score? My guess is that the whole scene somehow looks too unreal, or "plastic", which takes away from the impact of the photo. Somehow the emotion gets lost with the fake figures. It's weird how that happens, but that's what I think happened here. Like my little girl tells me, "Why couldn't he get Johnny Depp to pose for him?"

Anyway, I like your entry, it is very appropriate to the challenge, and well done. Take care,

Ursula (uabresch)

Preposed for you, but not a bad idea. Your crop, but not sure that I'm voting on the photo or the detail in the dolls... Could use a bit more contrast overall.

And why shouldn't someone else capitalize on Disney's multi-market greed, too? Good selection and good shot.
