Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: Everything looks nicely focused and very crisp. The tonal range is also very nice, thus making this image particularly appealing.
Lighting: Great, even lighting here with no losses in blown highlights or dark shadows. The reflection on the top right of the magazine cover is mildly distracting, but not nearly enough to detract from the overall scoring of the image.
Composition/Content: Absolutely wonderful for this challenge. You hit the challenge on the nose, meanwhile presenting a issue that faces young girls climbing into maturity. I like it! The placement of the magazine is spot on, as is the placement of your "props." Very nice work.
My Opinion: Personally, I think this one deserved second. While the first two shots in the challenge are nice, my favorite is 5th place, submitted by jaded_youth, followed very closely by this one. Another well-deserved ribbon and top score.

Classic, I won't say that you should have won blue (because I love Lesley's shot), but IMO, better than the red in creativity and craftwork.

Julie, congratulations on the yellow ribbon. Nice idea for the photo. At work, we call this a SWIPE (Steal With Integrity and Pride Everywhere). having the idea is only the first obstacle. Executing is the difficult part, and you executed this very well. Steve

The technique, while a bit cliché, does work well with the challenge criteria I suppose. I’m sure that this will do well. Good luck!

This is not only a cute photo, but it's message has some complexity. Well done IMHO.

Creative use of magazine positioning to capture more information about the subject's personality

Cute, I've seen this done before and I always like it, wanted to try it myself. I like the B&W treatment.

Interesting subject, great idea and execution. Very sharp and I like the B&W.

she's better off being a tomboy. I fell in love with meanwile because she doesn't throw like a girl. Creative yet perfectly on target fulfillment of the challenge. 8

Great original idea. Love the black and white.

Clever way to show the inherent conflict in many teenage girls between their remaining childhood desire to just play, race around, get dirty, use up their energy and their desire to grow up more quickly and join the adult world of glamour and fashion and dating and independence...

Great idea and good job presenting it. 7

lol, this is one of my favs so far, wish there was a little bit more interest in the background, but it really is a great idea. and you matched the magazine sooo well. nice job
Post actions
That is fantastic, I like the way the picture and the girl lined up and her hair just seemed to flow right onto the page. I also like the B&W effect which bring the tones together. Top ten if not a ribbon!

Clever. Cool and appealing workaround to the challenge. Has a "found" look to it even if it isn't and if it is, priceless.
