Maybe I've spent too much time in similar situations, but this picture doesn't work for ME for one simple reason: if this was an open book test, as it seems to be from the shot, I wouldn't give up eevn if none of the questions made any sense to me. :-) Nevertheless, I totally understand the fear -- had "nightmares" about simialr situations plenty of times, so I'm being very lenient. My only truly constructive criticism would be that the tone of the whole thing feels a little too warm, too yellow. I'd consider changing the hue a bit to something a bit more blue which would make it feel a little less inviting.
So glad I'm not in school anymore. Well, full time anyway. :-) It s a well shot picture: good composition, focus, lighting, etc. I think maybe the paper shoulg have been more of the focal point, and instead of running out of the picture, it would fill more of the frame. To me, the books seem to fight for attention.
Great idea but I am m;uch more afraid of tests when I have no materials around me to study from. For me seeing a test paper and a timer would instill the most fear in me.
I like the picture quality and the idea...but I've never been given an exam where I could have all my books out, a nice hot cup of coffee and an apple to munch. Where do you go to school? Also, I think the exam should be able to be identified without having to cozy up to the screen and squint...either by making it more easily legible or by making the context of the photo seem more like there's an exam going on. 6 Lisa
well finally a clear shot i ought to give you a 10 for that but an 8 and that is the highest yet. I changed my mind and gave you a 10 because I feel like a professor and most of the class failed on this subject of fear.
Been there, done that. Nice representation. U of W, another washingtonian. Very good capture. I can almost read the test. NIT: got frustrated with the date? I think I would have at least gotten a couple words written before cracking. 9 (mild fear) Swash
