Critique Section

[Don]

There seems to be interest in critiquing photos. I posted a photo and would like each of you to post a critique and explain what you would do to improve the photo. You don't have to tell how to improve it, just state what you would like to see to improve the photo. Example on my part would be to crop the light out of the photo that can be seen on the left side of the photo, and add a statement such as it does not add to the appearance, it draws away from the subject matter. Give it a try, critiquing will not only improve and help the person who submitted the photo but also will give you thought when taking photos.

Bob,
I'll try to get a new forum set up for critiques today. Let's do ONE photo per thread. If you want to enter a photo, start a new critique. We should keep in mind that we are mostly amateurs, so the comments should be weighed accordingly.

I think it might also be interesting to allow others to manipulate your photo (crop, adjust) and repost it in the same thread. The original poster should probably say something like, "OK to edit this photo". And let's post them big... 900X??? if you can.

I did this with the photos I took of the wedding on the beach (which all had a distinctly blue tint to them) and found the feedback and the modified photos very informative.
