Alright so I'm just a teen, bear with me on my entries :)
This was an easy shot to get, more or less. First i needed to get the food all set up so it looks like more than there really was. My family helped with the modeling (Aren't they awesome?) and it was so fun to get everybody laughing. We all just made jokes about it being an Auschwitz picnic....*sigh* thats what I get for minimizing on food. I don't mind if this doesn't place well, it's my first entry and I had lots of fun taking it!

Hi there,

Very nice first entry, for me was the best...keep going on. No everybody sees in the same way!

You might want to shut off the "Dater" in your camera forever(too distracting for viewing pictures in general, and for competition entries - even if the date-print is allowed.) I really did enjoy seeing this snapshot; it captured the feeling of a real-people picnic.

clone out the damn date PLEASE. a terrific capture ruined.

better framing (don't crop off heads, legs, etc.), no date stamp, no cellophane on the watermelon - these would have all made a better picture. I like the shoes in the foreground and the point of view, though I'm sure some people will also complain about that. It does look like a fun summertime meal, though :)

great smiles

looks like a great family picnic...not a fan of the date stamp.

I believe the date may prove detrimental for the image based on rules. Pleasant image, 6

pure summer. excellent

I love the fun in this one. Technically, it is a mere snapshot, but a good one.
07/29/2010 01:16:43 PM
looks like a great day

Great color - very crisp. I have a feeling that you're going to get dinged for having the date in the corner - hopefully I'm wrong. If you get the opportunity to try this shot again, I would remove the shoes and have the person on the left tuck their feet in.

I'm sure I'm not the first one to say the date is a no-no. Good idea and colors, though. Sorry, but this will probably be dq'd. They look like they're having a great time. I would have givin a 6 for this shot.
07/28/2010 01:17:48 PM
would have been a much better picture if those flip flops hadn't been in the photo
07/28/2010 12:23:04 PM
I'm afraid this one is on the way to a dq because of the date stamp, but still it's a happy image. Perhaps the empty shoes in the foreground are a minus, but still all those smiles are catching.

Cute snapshot of a summer picnic. I like the laughter.
Might want to turn off date imprinting in your camera. That gives it a very un-professional look.

ehm... i do not like the slippers in the foreground, it's a sin because the rest of the photograph is really nice... 6, WO slippers at least a 7...
07/28/2010 01:15:46 AM
very nice, love the shoes in the foreground. The image being dated may knock off on your score. Good luck

Your going to get a lot of comments about this, I am sure, but you need to get rid of the date stamp in the photo. I have never seen a photo where I wished the date was printed on it.
