met the challenge, centered around nostalgia. Good eye!

The composition here works really well, the angle of the inner picture and the uneven cork around it is very effective.

cute but off the mark

Could be a bit sharper.

Great contrast, the cork really jumps out with the picture on it.

Total Score5

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!

Nice thought, and good composition/exposure. The texture part (cork) though isn't sharp.
07/23/2002 05:38:00 AM
Not sure this fits in with the assignment.
07/22/2002 10:29:00 PM
interesting setup, but the main focus of the shot is not texture related.
07/22/2002 07:27:00 PM
good idea to use something smooth to contrast the cork board.
07/22/2002 06:40:00 PM
Interesting idea
07/22/2002 05:25:00 PM
It's a good interpretation of texture, but the whole thing seems a little flat to me. Maybe if a corner or two were curled slightly, casting a slight shadow, it would seem to have more depth. karmat

I don't get it, was the texture part the corkboard? Please explain after the challenge. 3 Swash

Cute snapshot, but does not really fit the challenge in my opinion. *3* -balynch

dennis is cute! :) your idea is good, but the photo could have been sharpened some more so that the cork texture really pops out. -- gr8photos (4)

Like the idea but, my 2 cents, I would prefer the birthday picture to take up less of the photograph space so that cork board was in it more. This fits the challenge but it would have more so with more board showing.

I really like this
07/22/2002 06:01:00 AM
The cork board has some nice texture... But ummm... My guess is you just wanted a free place to post a birthday greeting to someone? Can I suggest www.pbase.com?
07/21/2002 09:41:00 PM
Nice but the texture is not the center of attention
07/21/2002 09:28:00 PM
I think the corkboard texture could have been played out with a little more creativity :) = 4 - jmsetzler
