from the outside edge of the Critique Club
I think, really, those commenters are correct - and certainly it has afected your score, that the image did require an explanation in order to fit this challenge. Personally, I don't find these recreation of period challenges fun - especially given the very demanding public voting; can you imagine entering an image processed to look like an 80's colour photograph? I don't think that would score too well either. So really, I think we were only left with recreations of fashion and certain american crazes of the time as an option.
The other problem is that this is really a pretty ordinary image: the technicalities are all there, but the point is more about the point of view and the framing that you've chosen. It's a very everyday approach to a stadium shot, even though you've been quite careful to place the rings strongly in frame. The trees abscuring large parts of the image are a problem I think, complicating and disrupting the very clean lines of the building. I would have tried to make more use of the curves of the concrete against the curves of the olympic rings - there might be interesting tonal and textural differnces there - always presuming you could actually get that close to the stadium, of course.

| Nice image, maybe removing the light at the bottom of the image would help focus attection to the important parts of the image. Nice shapes and lines though. |

| Ben Johnson was the best. What I don't like about this entry is that it's hardly working in the challenge without a title. But it's a nice shot. |

I remember that! The title is going to hurt you in the end though I think, just a simple, Seoul Olympic Stadium would have been fine. That alone evokes a ton of memories for me.
The shot is okay, nothing really jumps out at me and says, LOOK AT ME! and holds my attention. Seems a bit too dark and slightly, ever so slightly blurred. A 6 |
