Forum Challenge No 3 2nd to 16th April

[Doglet]

Millie's rules to be followed, the same criteria used for judging, and two weeks allowed starting on the 2nd April

Challenge No 3 is WATER in what ever context you want.
This may or not stretch the imagination and hopefully take you out of your comfort zone.
Will not give any hints other than imagination could win the day

Re: Forum Challenge No 3 2nd to 16th April

OK here we go

Being what I consider a bumbling amateur by which I mean occasionally I manage to take a reasonable picture, here is my assessment of the entries.
All are good so I apologise in advance if I manage to upset someone. My interoperation is not that of a marketing Guru but more down the lines of first impressions
1= interpretation. 2 = tech exec& exposure. 3 = composition

briansquibb

2------ no water insight only a mental suggestion.
2------thought it lacked any tech umph. to me over exposed.
2------ to simplistic.

total = 6

x-ray-spec
4---nice swan
6---well taken, managed to freeze enough of the swan, but left movement in water.
6----main subject not water. Eye drawn to swan.

total = 16

Nathaniel Ramadaden

3----not enough action for water. eye drawn to buildings not reflection.
4---sky appears blown out, as does part of the building. otherwise nice pic.
3---water does not appear to be main subject

total = 10

Mark

3---nice birdy
6---water looks good some nice detail, but bird lacks definition and slightly overexposed.
6--- again water not main subject

total = 15

eeyore

9---well caught
7---seems well thought out, water slightly overexposed.
7---nicely centered background.

total = 23

ChrisJ

3---unusual
3---exposure about right,not too technical
3---different

total = 9

petros

4---too much like a holiday snap. Boat & children are main subject.
6--- nice capture,exposure was probably a tricky one.
6---nicely balanced.

total = 16

the GFB

nil point by own admission

total = 0

ADTDigital

9---spot on, like the sparklers
8--seems under exposed in the background,but suspect a difficult balancing act.
9---spot on

total = 26

colin c

10---having tried this I know how many shots it takes to get one good one.
9---time and effort = reward, exposure appears OK to me.
9---good,may have been better if more of the water column was seen in the reflection.

total = 28

DianaS

10---shows imagination.
8---not too easy to set up I suspect. under exposed to me
8---again spot on.

total = 26


Good effort by everyone. I probably had the hardest job trying to separate you all.
But the WINNER is colin c well done
A tie for second place DianaS & ADTDigital
With eeyore running third.

here is what prompted me to set the challenge Taken in front of Monte Carlo Casino



So it is down to colin C to set the next challenge
