Greetings from the Critique Club
Great job here; a well deserved ribbon. Sounds like you had a stroke of good luck to get the bird flying by and the boy looking at just the right time, but you've certainly made the most of it here. The subject works great in black and white; color would have probably been distracting and certainly not have allowed the superb tonal control exhibited here.
The wide angle distortion gives an other-worldly, almost surreal feel, which is nicely complemented by your treatment of the sky. Yet the bird and kid ground the photo firmly in reality. The result is surprisingly effective.
I keep thinking it needs a bit more space on the left for better balance and because the bird seems a bit crowded. But then again, the crowding and slight imbalance probably contribute to the effectiveness of this photo! So it's certainly fine as is.
This is an outstanding photo. Thank you for submitting it! |

| Enzo: here you have outdone yourself. Beyond doubt one of the most impressive Waldo entries due to the comely perpective and then the kid and the bird. Congratulations on your Yellow. |

If I could ever produce a black and white conversion that was a s technically strong as this I would be a VERY happy person. I cannot find a single point of criticism. Not normally a big fan of 'through windows' shots but it work very well here in that it gives the boys features a slight lonliness and disconnect (almost melancholia) that you sometimes get in quiet seaside towns

| Delightful image, full of energy and drama. "Waldo" was easily found, but that's not critical to me for this challenge. Instead, the image you have presented is interesting and has wonderful lines and flow. It actually draws me in, like a scary movie. I'm jealous that the seagull is so clearly in focus and yet has no perceptible haloing whatsoever (whenever I shoot flying birds they always have halos, even if I don't sharpen them)! This is a "10" from me. |
