Location: Lincoln, NE

Aperture: f/2.9
ISO: 64
Shutter: 1
Date Uploaded: Feb 20, 2006

I took this while I was at the Teacher\'s fountain here in Lincoln, and this turned out better than the pictures of the fountain. My Nikon has the worst possible long exposure ability ever, since I can\'t control it, and I think it goes up to a whopping two seconds...

Greetings from the Critique Club...

My critiques consist of commentary on specific elements of photographs that I look for in other images, as well as my own. All of these items will not apply to every photograph, and I will indicate that if it applies to yours.

Your Score

This photo scored rather poorly in the challenge. In my opinion, there is simply nothing of interest in the image. The mood you may have been trying to convey just didn't come through due to the lack of interest in the subject.

Meeting the Challenge

The image meets the challenge but doesn't go much beyond that.

Subject Choice

I believe the subject choice here is very weak. As I stated above, there is nothing of particular interest to look at in the scene.

Emotive value / Emotional Impact

This photo doesn't score any points from me in this area either.

Composition

I don't believe the composition of this photo matters. In a perfect world, the lamp post would not be positioned as close to the center as it is, but it doesn't really matter here. Not many people will get past the lack of subject to even evaluate the composition.

Technicals

I don't think there is anything wrong with this image technically.

Creativity

There may be some element of creativity in this image if you are a beginning photographer. Working a long exposure on a tripod is a good learning tool.

Additional Notes

Spend some more time thinking about how a viewer will perceive your photo before you post :)

There's nothing to really grab my interest and it seems to be out of focus

The street light is a bit blown out and there is not enough details to the background.
