 I usually favor black & white, but I wanted to keep the color in.

Contrast, darkening, sharpening.

It's not great, I know. It's what I get for procrastinating.

That's an enviable box of crayons. Unfortunately all is out of focus except a bit of ear.

This is so badly over-compressed it's difficult to tell whether it is in focus. Pity, because the idea is good.

Great job cropping, and the colors work really well. The point of focus should be on the crayons IMHO. 8.

Did you intend for this to be so out of focus?

the subject is out of focus if this is about "tools"

I like the colors and idea of the photo. It looks like it was taken in a low light environment causing a shallow DOF. When I encounter this situation, I take everything outdoors for better lighting. Keep shooting

this boy got very nice ears or else you wouldnt have focus on it
 07/28/2005 06:47:57 PM
Looks like it might be good, but it's hard to tell because nothing is in focus.
 07/27/2005 06:29:36 PM
I love the colors & the composition; I wish some bit (either the boy or the crayons) were in sharper focus so that my eyes could latch onto something.

It looks out of focus.

Would have been a nice photo. Looks as if you have a good eye for photography. I think you should invest in a higher resolution camera.

Nice idea for challenge

Wow... this needs some serious focus, I'm afraid. Looks like some .jpg artifacting in there, too. The shot is only 36K when you can upload up to 150K.

The lack of focus doesnt work IMHO
 07/27/2005 06:46:33 AM
The "tools" are too blurry.

Focus is too soft. The wall in the top right hand side is distracting. Nice display of colors!

Needs a good focal centre but I like the composition

I don't userstand the focus or lack thereof. I like the composition.
