Critiquing, judging and Scoring of Photographs

The Slide

Posted under Color, Critiqued, Sports, Travel

The SlidePatterns can make an interesting subject but they often work best when they are used as a backdrop or a primary subject.  This allows the subject to standout amongst the repartition of their surroundings.

This photo-artist has found the ultimate pattern of waves and color.  The primary subject is placed far to the right allowing room for them to move through the frame, in this cast at high speed.  The expressions of joy on their faces add to the feeling of the fun on the ride down an exhilarating slide.  I particularly like the way the photographer has tilted the graphic to add even more tension and movement to the composition.

I played a little with the color saturation and when I increased it by 100% there was no discernable change in the hues of this rainbow of color.  The artist could have named this image ‘Riding a Wild Rainbow’.
