just a test…

VERY interesting photojournalistic photo, Raimundo. Don’t know about the writing, but like you say, it has a surreal quality with the different content elements. My eye wants to explore it, and there is a lot to […]

Hi Ilona! In this case, I think the wide composition works. There is an open feeling of anticipation plus all the patterns and shapes going on (Hey… you know there’s a “Pattern & Form” contest open right now, yes? […]

Welcome, foolking! These are fine family photos. It looks like you are using Instagram with the center Tilt-Shift function on most, am I right? On those, you are doing a good job of keeping this filter effect […]

Hi Ilona.B. Your desire to capture “fleeing reality” in B&W (from your profile) is in evidence here. The vignetting technique works well in the squirrel image, drawing the attention right where it needs to go. And […]

I like the feeling of this image: lonely, isolated. I also like the way my eye moves from foreground via the diagonal water channel to the horizon and the sun’s glow, and then back. The water reflections are nice, […]

That’s better …
While it’s an interesting picture, what it lacks for me is a clear focus. I don’t mean sharpness but rather something to look at. It’s all a bit undefined without a path or direction for my eyes […]

Wow… super colorful and “dreamy”!

Nice selection, Doyle. I have a slightly different set of compo elements, but yours is good too.

Hi Pauli!
What exactly do you want critiqued? Personally, I don’t see the faces in the stones. But then, I’m not always good with optical illusions.
The main issue for me is that your photo is out of focus. […]

Hi Muzammil! Sunsets are probably one of the most-photographed subjects in the world, so something needs to make them stand out to be noticed by others. Yours actually does that by adding the elements of the […]

Hi Irada! The bubble shot is interesting although not easy to see what’s going on. But intriguing. The street market is colorful but very busy and hard to focus on anything. Maybe better to simplify. Keep […]

Hey Doyle: Oh, that’s an easy one… it’s the width of the film (including sprocket holes). Invented by Thomas Edison, I hear. Anyway, I just checked an unmounted slide, and sure enough: 35mm on the nose.
And way to […]

Hi Irada. This may be a language-difference thing, but start thinking of what you are doing not as “clicking” but more as “creating.” “Clicking” is very passive, like you have no control. But in reality, you have […]

Very strong graphics. On both you could have waited longer for the clouds to move. On the one looking up, the clouds should be either not in picture or separated more from subject. This is something to experiment […]

This is a good “environmental” portrait with good light on her face. Next time, also try a vertical format to show more of her and less of the background.

Hi Irada! For your first portrait, this is pretty good. Very colorful, great expression of your subject, and a clean background. The main suggestion I would have is to watch out for distracting elements in the […]
