did the camera go off unexpectedly on this shot? Whats the focus of this shot? Is it the coats? the hooks? the cubby holes? I have no idea. Your depth of field is also very small. once you get past the first or second coat, everything is out of focus. When youre shooting a shot like this, compose it in your viewfinder to see if you can cut out anything thats distracting. Lets say you wanted the coats to be your focus... now you have this huge spot in the top right thats distracting the subject. Get rid of it. Also, its obvious you used a flash, due to the light boards in the top left and the reflection on the coats. Try not to use the flash in this situation...

| The lighting and the focus are off. Seems to be a hurried shot. |

| Too bad there wasn't more existing light in the room, the flash gives it a harsh quality and doesn't reach the whole picture. Nice to see a real-life shot, though. |

| This is just too snap-shoty for me. It's in need of a little rotation and more even lighting. But, it fits the challenge to a T, so you got the hard part right. Too bad they don't have a separate voting for the idea because you'd get a 10 then. |

| I'm not sure about the angle that you've taken this picture at. There's too much emphasis on the wood at the top of the picture, I'd have preferred to see more of the coats, which give colour to the image. |

| I'm afraid this seems just a bit too haphazard. It honestly doesn't look like a lot of effort was put into framing, lighting or focus here. Sorry... |

| This meets the challenge but, sadly, it has a very amateurish, snapshot quality to it. A kindergarten coat room has a lot of potential for evoking nostalgia in the viewer but this just hasn't captured that. It looks like the photographer just stuck his/her head into a closet and snapped the shot. The flash hurts the mood quite a bit (flash frequently does). For an interior shot a tripod is usually necessary to take advantage of natural light. A suggestion for how a shot of a coat room could evoke an emotional response from the viewer is to create a set-up using just a few familar items you would find in the setting being sure to choose timeless, non-branded (no cartoons, sports teams, etc) items. Example---a brown paper lunch bag or plain colored lunch pail. galoshes (rain/winter boots), a simple nylon windbreaker or rain coat, Chuck Taylors' or Keds' sneakers (they've been around for several decades in pretty much the same form). |

| Love it. Very whimsical and charming. Good angle. Will probably score low on the DP Challenge though. 10 |
