I like it! Nice colors but beat up enough to show use. If I'd change anything it would be the carpet. I'd like to see this on wood or tile, or pottery or iron...etc. Still very nice though.
This is fantastic - I adore the colours and the way you've got low down to take the shot. The only regret is the way the pouch is just clipped at the top and the leather tie at the right. The carpet works well as a background too. It leaves me wishing that I still had my marbles (!) and could play for penny chews!
Having now looked regularly at all 7 of my score 9 choices, I have decided that this one is definitely my absolute favourite and am upping my score to a ten. I know it's not perfect, technically, because of the slight clipping at two edges, but I do love it.
colorful, sharp, and very well-worn. the gigantic drawstring occupying the right half of the picture is a little distracting, but helps partition the picture
Superb... I can't see anything distracting in this photo.....The angle, clarity, lighting and cropping are all complimentary to each other. =10 Syamjonimi
Though I think the navy blue background (carpet?) works well, I think that something with less texture might force my eye to look at the texture of the pitted marbles more. I think I would have cropped it a little less closely, and gotten in the small parts of the leather bag that seems artificially chopped. Otherwise, neat subject, composition, and lighting.
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - very good Technical Aspects - very good Meets Challenge - yes+ Visual Impact / Originality - very good/high I'd thought of this, have the bag, but no marbles. Just a great shot.
I think the kids of today really missing some good times by not drawing a circle in the dirt everyone putting x number of marbles, then shooting for the lot.... 7
This is so close to being a classic that it hurts – for me, the bit missing is the rest of the bag and the string and a bit more of ground. The central theme is tops, evokes great childhood memories, it's got great feel, it tells a story – only thing wrong here (in my opinion) is there's to much of the central theme. Loses points, but I like the idea so much… I like the colour - I like the picture. I really am tempted to hit the 10 – but 9 is justified… Good luck…
