ARGH!!!! Those comments! There is just the right amount of "empty space" to create a sense of place. Nothing is wasted. And are people really complaining about grain in a newspaper challenge? Egads! This was my favorite for this challenge. It had an actual headline, relevence, artistic merit, the works. I'm really disappointed to see it place in the middle.
I like the grain effect, it does give the feel of a newspaper. The picture itself isn't very interesting though. Could you have gone with a different angle? I know you are trying to show the beach and ATV together but readers trust headlines(sometimes). It may not have been necessary to show the beach as much. I think an angle looking up from the left front tire with the police officer looking down would have been cool. It would make him look more authoritive. Just a thought. I really like the title, one of the better ones of the challenge. Good work and good luck in the challenge:)
I can tell you purposely desaturated the pic and added noise for a "newspaper
effect..... I like it. Composition with much of the beach in view works well with the title.
Good picture and good subject. I'm gonna assume the grain is purposeful to give it a "paper" feel. I like the composition. I might try cropping the top down some, and maybe just a wee bit off the left, but not enough to lose the "thirds".
A bit too grainy and there's too much space - I think it would look better with either a bit of top or left side cropped out. This is an excellent newspaper-ish photograph. Kudos!
Very nice. The photo has relevence to the moment and it is also interesting as a portrait of a particular environment. I like the generous cropping and square format. I like the haze in the background. This is only the second photo I've looked at in this challenge. It was a nice treat.
Yes, I would definitely see this in a newspaper. I also think that the amount of grain fits with the "newspaper" theme. The focus could be better though, nice composition...9
I image that you put the grain in to make this look more like it came from a newspaper, somehow it misses that end and looks more like a grainy photo at least to me.
In my top 5 It is very reminicient of a Newspaper shot. Headline is good , the grain... I dunno if you added but most modern day news photos are not grainy.
I gave it a 9
