(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) - Pretty good. Iâd like to see the partial bodies on the right cropped out. The problem with that, you lose the Kodak sign. Canât win. I like the partial face in the center, although a couple of folks did not. Itâs good that he is looking at her. I like the pose of the girl, kneeling on the counter. Definite youth, paying attention.
(2) BACKGROUND â Pretty good, but two âblown outâ areas are distracting â left of the girlâs arm, and right of her head. Looks like bad reflections. Overall background is also a little too bright, but probably hard to change in b&w.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL â Focus and DOF look quite good.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL â I assume you took this in color and converted to B&W. The conversion looks good to me. Good resulting textures. No recommended changes.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO â When I first saw the photo and the title, I had trouble envisioning the story that went with it. A good picture, but âso whatâ; why would this be on a front page or a magazine cover? On the other hand, it would go well with a story on a âvarietyâ page that covered a young girl who took photos for a school paper.

Did your finger get stuck on the H key? I don't understand the title...

Ok. Too bad there is any of the clerk's face in this one. Perhaps you should have ducked a bit right and got him out of it entirely.

I can just feel the enthusiasm and interest of the girl. Great job and works well in black and white(10)

there's a great story in this picture.

I hope they bought the kid a camera! Interesting use of high-contrast B+W helps focus on the characters/story rather than the advertising, while using the displays to provide context.

This is a good one! Especially after voting on 'Rest In Peace Little Angels...'.
Strong impression of childhood and well captured.

i like the salesman's eye. the far wall below the brand names is a little blown out, wonder if that's what had to go if you were gonna get the wrinkles on the jackets or the details of their hair. real nice, kinda wonder why you chose black and white though, 'cause there looks to be a lot of color here.

More of a candid than true PJ, but I'm not knocking points off for that this week. Too much reflection behind the sales counder, and the pic doesn't have much of a real point to me. Sorry, good luck! 5 nards656

This is just classic. Too bad the lighting is too harsh off the poster. 8

Its got a lovely feel to it, but I think that the extreme tilt should be corrected.

Background is a bit blown out so don't really get the impression of it being a camera store.

In photojournalism, expressions are always very important. You always want to see the peoples faces and feel their emotions
