great stolen moment image. i like the fact that there is a guy in the back and they seem to just ignore everything going on around them. great catch yanik.
Interesting to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.
First Impression - the most important one: On you little voyeur .. nice shooting.
Composition: No problems ... here .. the person in the back being out of the DOF is great and adds a secondary interest point for the eye.
Subject: Meets the challenge .. in fact you slam dunked it.
Technical (Colour and light): As mentioned by one of your commentators .. the sepia tonings work well here ... the slight flaring on the hair is lovely and keeps the picture real to me.
To grow its vote?: You came 22 .. I think that is great ... looking at those that beat ya should give you ideas at how to improve. Taking candids is really a difficult skill and you are doing well.
Summary: Great shot .. keep it up ... I am sure many more ribbons to come.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Very voyeuristic shot
works very well as a candid and the shallow DOF works well. The outof focus baseball (?) player really adds to the picture and helps us in thinking that the couple think that they are hidden from the rest of the world behind the tree.
Well done
Nice composition and toning. Backlight works well here, gives a nice line on the hair of the subjects. The out of focus person gives a good sence of place.
I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.
I like this one. I would have cropped out the full right side. I really didn't need to see the player to the right in order to tell the emotions were real in the couple. It's a good 7 photo for me though, and a 7 is one of the highest scores in this challenge for me. I also love the tones. Good capture.
