Critiquing, judging and Scoring of Photographs

The Observer

The Observer                                                                                                                                                           This travel shot would work well in a series illustrating life in the subcontinent.  I like the framing of the woman through the door and her posture observing the world go by.  The sandals in the entry way are a nice touch. 

There are a couple of things I might suggest to the photographer.  The door way verticals are not parallel to the side if the frame.  This would possibly not be an issue except that the edge of the opening is so close to the edge of the frame it becomes noticeable immediately.  Also some of the right hand wall could be cropped out without loss to the concept. 

The overall color appears to be washed out or under exposed.  This can be changed on the computer to bring out the lively colors in her dress and deepen the tone in the structure.

  1. I appreciate the critique and the changes made improve
    the image considerably

  2. With the crop and more contrast I am admiring the decorative painting along the edges of the door way as well as the whole image. Interesting to see folk art adorning there door ways. I used to teach this, an art that can be easily taught.
    Another nice shot Hal.
