I am participating in the "Why a '5' not a '6'?" commenting activity (see recent forum thread). Viewers are asked to leave a comment with some of their votes of '5' letting the photographer know why, for them, it fell short of a vote of '6'. If you have found this comment useful, you may wish to offer some of your own to those images where you vote 5.
A nicely executed candid and good job with the lighting. A five and not a six because this feels like a family snapshot. And don't get me wrong -- there's no shame in family snapshots. But I suspect this particular one offers more to, say, family than to a stranger in a photo contest.
So there you go! |
