CRITIQUE CLUB COMMENT
First impression was "Oh no! Not children!!" After I got past the initial horror, I realized that this was actually done very well. Your arrangement of photos is nice and I particularly love the top pane of the tripytch. Nice vignetting at the edges and I love the pose and composition on this one. The child in the lower third, the ball in the upper third really makes a strong composition in my opinion. A solid stand alone by itself. The lower left photo seems a little soft to me, particularly around the eyes which is the center focus for a portrait shot. Maybe that's my imagination because after I said this and looked closer the focus looks ok. Strange. The biggest problem I have with the whole collection though is the lower left because he seems to be putting food in his mouth and I just personally detest photos of children putting things in their mouths or having food in her face. Probably just a personal issue I need to work through. Anyway, the lower right photo seems a HAIR over exposed on the cheek. I like the ball in this photo to tie in more with the ball in the top pane. Unfortunately I didn't notice the ball in the lower right at first..only saw it after examining closeley for this critique. That's probably because again my eyes are drawn to whatever it is he's putting in his mouth. Had the childs focus been on the ball and not the food it would have been perfect. The color and contrast are good in all the shots but I'm not sure I'm fond of the vibrant green. It seems out of place somehow. Overall this is a VERY solid entry that you should be proud of. I'm sure your friend is going to want a print of this for his wall. Your score is about where I'd expect it to be...right around a 6 but not more. It has a LOT of promise but a few distractions keeps it from being a top 10 contender. All in all a fantastic shot. Crongrats! |

| Three good shots, that work together nicely. The lower left shot is the strongest of the bunch, it really captures the kid well. I'm not sure the vignetting on the top shot really adds much, especially since there's no vignetting on the others, but that's just my opinion. Nice job. |

| Cute captures :) For the Free Study though, I'd probably just post the top one. It's very strong on it's own. |

| The top pic is great! Is that a selective desat or just a very gray deck? I might prefer it without the others; not that they're not good in their own right. The processing of the two bottom pics doesn't quite match... |

| These are all great shots - though I think I would have preferred it if you'd just submitted the top shot. |
