Terrific - 9/10

This certainly screams newspaper to me. Nice job with the grain.

great photo.... keep the good work!

Wow, that's grainy.... I assume you did this so it'd look like it was in the paper? I think it might be a little over done if that's the case. If it's your camera delivering this much noise, I think you need a new one :-). I would have cropped out more of the top of the image, to focus on the cab and the pushbike chap. The large black window attracts my eye away from the main 'characters' in this image.

Having said all that, it's a much stronger match for the challenge than some of the more asthetically pleasing photos in this comp. Well done.

Picture is grainy, but I loved the comedy
06/27/2004 12:25:40 PM
A little too grainy, but nice sense of motion and good foucs.
06/27/2004 12:40:22 AM
too grainy for me, but I like what you were going for.
06/26/2004 04:13:43 AM
I know what you were going for here. Too grainy though...good effort!
Despite the graininess...good motion blur gives the picture energy.
Good headline matching photo well.
06/26/2004 01:04:43 AM
nice panning but why all the noise?
06/25/2004 08:01:38 PM
Nice blur; looks very newspaper-ish.
06/25/2004 09:41:29 AM
Cool.
06/25/2004 02:34:36 AM
I like the grain. I would crop it differently, putting more space in front of the bike. (9)

Excellent "classic" newpaper look and feel. Good use of shutter speed and grain. My only complaint is that it's so dead center, Crop of about 3/4 of the distance from the left edge and the whitish cab and you have a much stronger image. Oh - and get a better proof reader as " Fair" should be FARE! But then again - if you are imiitating modern newspapers - maybe that was intentional! Nice job.

Cool photo, I just dont like so much of the grain look.
06/24/2004 09:24:13 PM
like the grainy quality and blurry action. a slightly tighter crop might improve this slightly.
06/24/2004 10:05:42 AM
You would benefit from tighter croping
06/24/2004 09:25:34 AM
Nice panning effect. A little less noise would've been easier on the eyes and I don't remember the last time i saw an image that grainy in newsprint. Good effort though.
06/23/2004 10:19:13 PM
Nice effect. 8
06/23/2004 09:59:42 PM
I understand the motion, but am wondering if you despeckled this one? It seems grainy. Otherwise..great shot.
06/23/2004 05:27:50 PM
I like the motion blur in this shot. The subject, composition go well with your headline. I'm just not sure that the grain works for me. I don't believe it would work for a newspaper editor.
06/23/2004 03:36:17 PM
I'm guessing people complain of the graininess, but I did the same. Nice shot with good panning (and I know how tought that is - great work!)
06/23/2004 02:15:54 PM
i doubt a newspaper would use this picture. they would want something that is not grainy. but I do like it, it does add to the picture.

Like the grainy effect
06/23/2004 11:19:59 AM
You know, I honestly think that the grain here detracts from the photo instead of enhancing it, I think it would have looked better without it. But the panning is perfect and it is definitely newsworthy, so i'll give you a 9 because i'm imagining it without the grain.

Good luck...

i think the grainy effect is just a bit too much. The blur in the background is good though, because it gives the picture a lot of speed.

Hmm, i just hope that's not noise from the camera.
06/23/2004 04:57:48 AM
Very grainy photo (turn down your ISO!) Interesting headline for it though. Good attempt.
06/23/2004 02:30:32 AM
Noise picture seem a style love by some people, not me ! sorry a3
06/23/2004 02:24:50 AM
very cool 8
06/23/2004 02:04:00 AM
Great idea but hurts the eyes...
06/23/2004 12:31:14 AM
I like the motion of this picture.
