Running out of time (work commitments). I was in Canberra for a conference at the Indonesian Embassy last weekend. I was the un-offical/offical photographer. Just to take shots of the presenters- snap shot type stuff. These young ladies did a performance at our dinner. One of the girls performed a solo dance just before this - which she muffed. When they performed together they coordinated perfectly which made me think of the challenge (Success).
Very little done to the shot. Sharpened (although still not cystal clear), slight adjustment, bordered, resized, save for web.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
This is a lovely image, seems a little too tightly cropped.

Composition:
The crop doesn't allow the rules to apply easerly .. I am not sure but it just doesn't seem to work well .. maybe working towards the rule of thirds would have helped in the circumstance .. do a google on this and see how that helps in recropping and positioning of the people in the frame.

Subject:
I think lots of people did not get/understand the success shown .. so got a littl of the DNMC ... but I think it meets the challenge fine.

Technical (Colour and light):
Not sharp enough .. you mentioned this .. I think that the border is a little too thick and creates a tightness on the image. I like the colours they are lovely and bright.

To grow its vote?:
Think about the rules of photography .. i am not at home so don't have my normal URLs to give .. but this may help in future ... do a google and have a look around.

Summary:
Good work .. keep it up.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via
the PM system.

Cheers

Kari
