First Impressions
Good for a Where's Waldo Challenge. Maybe not even subtle enough. I didn't vote in this Challenge.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
I like your composition, the lighting and scene are pleasant and warm.
The HDR use is new to me, especially in regard to using it in Challenge entries. I find that with this image, the HDR has enhanced the nice warm lighting, which is good, but what bothers me is the few 'whiteish marks' around the boy's lower torso. I can't discern what they are and can't help but wonder if they are a result of overlays from different frames. Apologies in advance if wrong.
There is some slight blur (again, could be movement), however it grows on me the more I look at it and it adds to the overall softness of the image.
Lastly, 720 in this Challenge would have strengthened your entry (the 'hidden person' aspect aside), if the quality was there.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
27/73 is a good placement and your score of 5.66 doesn't really reflect that. I can only surmise that it is because there were a low number of entries in this Challenge and it was an overall low scoring Challenge.
Most of your commenters like your coloring and the light, however there isn't too much feedback on why you received an average score of 6.5 from them.
Summary
A little more subtle with the person for this Challenge and possibly a little more context/foreground, with the technicals slightly more refined (even if leaving it soft, but the HDR/movement issues eliminated), would have made this a stronger entry in my opinion. |
