When I opened your profile looking at the thumbnail of this shot I figured I was going to open up something that was really blurry or bad technically considering the score. But when I opened it I thought it was a really well done shot. Then I see its just a victim of DNMC. Which I agree that it didnt really meet the criteria. But beyond that this is agreat and humorous shot. Excellent focus, I like the crop and it just makes me wonder how he got there and why that ball isnt rolling over on him. Would have scored a ton higher in a different challenge (unless it was a sel portrait challenge then probably not).
I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.
Unfortunately, candids of animals are really not what I look for in a good candid. Animals are aware and both unaware at the same time of a photographer, nor do they care either way. Too easy, no comfort zone lost. It's a 2 for me.
cute idea, but this probably would be better suited for a different challenge. as is, it's a bit soft and it could have been submitted much, much larger. if your score isn't where you would like it to be, you might want to read this thread
You did a great job finding an image that has been done a thousand times and making it different and interesting. I just would have like to see the tennis ball more highlighted.
