AndyTek - I personaly know both of them and there is no such thing as those two being the same author, and if so, they would have to be seriously quick zoomers becouse Andri's photo is much closer and clearer and Lárus photo isnt.

I think this is the best soccer pic in the challenge.

Good job Andri

Playing and sharing ideas from the imagination.....

This is a nice picture taken of nice kids in a nice garden doin nice things, but there are a lot of improvements that can be made on this picture.

Composition:
I believe you are a litle bit too close to the subject on the left. I would say that to compose this picture better you should move just about a meter (3 feet) to the right and then you would have a better view of the boys and of what they are actually doing. I like that you are on the same level as they are, you are not watching up to them or looking down at them but the fact is that you are looking straight at them, that makes this picture kinda intresting and leads the looks to the car and the huge reparation going on :P, aahhh allmost forgot, you should have tried to get the whole car in on the picture :)

Lighting:
Since the sun is coming from the back of the boys you should have given them a flash to brighten up their faces, a fill flash would show much more of their faces and it would make this picture a lot better.

Post-Processing:
I believe there is not much post-processing done to this picture, and I think some is needed. Shadows/Highlights, levels and some dodge burn would give this picture a whole other look that would take away the snapshotty feel of it and make it look a lot more pro

Thats about what I have to say about the technical part, but I recomend you continue to catch these moments with these boys, you will get great photos out of it. Playing hide and seek is a very cool way to ambush them with a camera and you can get absolutely faboulus expressions on their faces when they find you :)

Hopefully I helped you some with these comments, and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions :)

(Edit: Fixed some underlining :) )

Jæjja, nú er íslendingur kominn í Critique club :)

I like this picture and it is a excelent portrait and everyting so lets go through the steps that I have seen from other Critique club members.

Composition:
Its a nice image and the guys position in the frame is good but the thing that I can find on it is that the guy behind his head is kinda distracting so you might have cropped him away or tried to get rid of him into some black mist made with curves or higlight burn.

Lighting:
Ligting is cool, dunno if you used a fill flash but the light puts the attention straight at his face

Post-Processing:
This is something that this picture is lacking I think. You could have worked this picture very much better with different settings like curves, levels, dodge and burn. You should use it to your advantage that it is a memberchallenge so that you can truly use the whole spectra of the rules.

Suggestion/Improvements:
Nothing much I can say to improve but to burn the guy behind him away :) Other then that a very nice portrait.

Vonandi hjálpar þetta eithvað :) og gangi þér vel í keppnunum og mundu að við erum með okkar eigin íslensku útgáfu af þessu :) Getur séð meira um það í prófælnum mínum :)

Happy Birthday!!

Well, this looks like a pretty hard project to use as something for DPC.

Well for starters. This picture is way to crowded, there is a lot going on on the picture and there is hard to focus your attention somewhere. If you would had one kid or something and the family as its background or sometihng this picture realy would work. But now, everyone in the picture are equal wich makes the picture realy hard to focus on.

For the technical part, you should go for a better lightning when you take a shot like this, then you can up your speed a lot and you don't get the problem with the moving legs of the kid or the hand of the litle girl.
Another one is to give people some space, the guy in green on the left lost his but outside the picture, wich makes him kinda out of the picture but not totally. The woman on the far left, her arm is kinda missing and that is not so good either.

Then there is the only thing that realy bugs me on this picture and that is. What tha hell is that pink thing in the bottom left? Remove such things before shootin... hehe

Well hopefully I helped you some with these comments of mine.

Contact me if you have any questions :)

From this day forward...

Here comes Critique club knocking on your door

Well you have captured a very nice moment there, its full of emotion and a lot of good things, but since you are doing this handheld late at night you are not getting the detail a shot like this should have.

If you would have used a tripod you might have lost that magical moment but you got the moment with some hardship on detail and sharpnes.

A good thing to do to this picture would have been applying curves and USM to the whole picture to get the edges sharp and to get the sky a litle more blue.

Well hopefully you think this is a helpfull post to you.

Well just started this Critique club thing so lets see how it goes, hopefully you like my examination of your picture :)

Well for starters what we have here is a decent picture so there is not very much I can say about it. It is very good in its simplicity and the girl is looking like she liked her present. And the lightning on her face looks good.

I must however say that there is something that is missing in the picture, something that says that *whooomp!* that I like to hear when I look at a great picture. If you would have made this picture just a litle more exciting you would have been able to get a higher score and I would have heard my litle *whooomp!*

Well hopefully this comment is helpfull for you :)

Good luck in future challenges

... and then she goes down ...
