Haha the English scoolboys pocket collection. Nice.
Trouble is its just a little uninspiring, the lighting could be so much more atmospheric. 6 from me |

| The only obviosly British Photo. (Its the conker that gives the game away) I feel that the light source is a little to bright casing glare on the coins and the writing on the pencil/ smartie cap. |

| I love the idea here! Well-chosen items to represent the many facets of a shoolchild's life... I have to admit I haven't made up my mind about the choice of lighting. On the one hand it helps some of the items stand out, such as the pencil, coins and rubberband chain. On the other hand it complicates the shoelace...o.k. 1 negative vs 3 positives, you win. |

| Nothing here really captures my interest. Without the title, this photo doesn't stand on it's own IMO. 4, just-married |

| Cute take on the challenge. I find the lighting rather flat and dull. I'm not a fan of shooting still-lifes from above like this. I prefer to shoot across the objects---like anything else, your camera is generally best positioned as close to the point of view of the subject as possible. Shooting from above tends to flatten everything into two dimensions. This can work if you are going for an abstract , graphic, quality. In this case, it just looks like visual clutter to me. Typically, a still life should show more modeling of form through the play of shadow and light over the obejcts. Also, fewer objects would have made the statement just as well with less clutter. This may be exactly what was in the students pockets but the viewer doesn't need to know that. Also objects that are familiar to a general audience are important. My choices would be the marble, rubber band, die, sharpener, coins,and the candy. That shoelace/chesnut (conker?) thing looks like some kind of homemade toy which is cute but not very clear to the viewer (this viewer anyway). I have no idea what that orange cap thing is. |
