Congrats on this taking 3rd.. I like the composition of this. It seems as though they get that way naturally.. I try to make my step daughters life fun and she still says she bored..
I was sure this one was going to get the blue ribbon, I am sorry I was wrong. From the moment I saw it, I liked it. I gave it a straight 10 from the beginning. I was not surprised when later I saw it was yours, it has the same "feeling" as your "father and son" picture, they are alone in their own world.
I like the compositon, seems to work even better with "mr cell phone" providing contrast to her boredom. I'd like to see a bit of detail retained in the dark areas, but other than that I like the treatment.
I like this image it speaks volumes of the persons perspective of being with some one who likes their cell phone, or that down time of waiting for a bus. Glad it isn't a color image.
a good score for you .. as i can relate; in addition i like the compositional flow of the photo from top left columns going down through the man and young lady then down the steps/legs to the right
Great use of lines! Definately depicts boredom yet the photograph is definately not boring! GREAT JOB! I only wish your daughter's shirt did not blend in so much with her shadow, but that is a very minor detail. 10
i really like this candid for this challenge. good call on colorizing and i like the soft look. its soft enough but doesn't distort the edges of the people. good job.
This I like. I can relate to this photo. Waiting for your folks to get done doing "parent" stuff can be excruciatingly boring. Well composed, body language on the daughter is priceless and the father not noticing his fathers boredom really completes this picture. Well done.
This is a very nice candid shot. It seems spontaneous and natural and, therefore, appealing. Love the composition and the overall feel, though I cant help noticing the girl's missing feet.
