Challenge: Silence IV (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Canon PowerShot A40
Location: Tennis court in my neighorhood
Date: Feb 29, 2004
Galleries: Emotive, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Feb 29, 2004

 My first challenge ever...

I decided to scout my neighborhood for some spots...the tennis court seemed to be a good place, because the afternoon sun came down perfectly and cast nice, long shadows. I wanted to create a sort of post-match, savoring the win feeling.

Thanks guys, now that I look at it, it wouldn't do a very good job of conveying silence without the title and all. But I gonzo, I wish you'd said something a little more helpful or maybe less rude. Thanks everyone else!

The black and white is great. Lighting is great. I like the perspective, but would like to see a closer shot on something that resembles a portrait.

nice shadows, not entirely torn up about the subject, though. Everything else I like.

a bit centered for my taste your subject fits better on the right

this is an intersting shot, but i'm not sure what it has to do with the challenge.. i guess that pretty subjective tho.. composition of the shot is very balanced.. the light is great.. black and white was a good idea too..

Too posed, too 'clinical', why use B&W? Doesnt really work, and without the subject title, would not really push across the feeling of silence. 5

This is pretty good. I would like toi see the subject placed a little more to the right of the image, though. He's too far to the left.
