Critiquing+a+Photo

1st photo: [] I thought that this photographer captured an amazing scene. The wave is large and clear, and it almost looked like no special effects were added to the picture because it looks so natural, even though you know they were added to make it look so pristine. The picture was very clear, which made it more interesting to view because normally, the clearer the image, the better it is. This picture made me feel calm and relaxed, like I'm laying on a beach in Cuba or any other tropical country. Even though this picture was amazing, there is always ways for improvement. I thought that if there was more colour added to the picture, natural colour or edited, it would give it a higher level of exciting-ness.

2nd photo: [] Whoever took this picture is an amazing photographer, not just because of the clear image, but for almost being in the right place at the right time. The picture is interesting and intriguing because of the way the wolf is looking right at the camera and the ominous glow of his eyes. I don't think that this photo had too many effects, but they probably used some for blurry yet cool looking background and the huge amount of colour in the wolf'eyes. This picture made me feel kind of spooked; it's like the wolf is staring right through you. Unlike the last picture, there is no need for improvement with this one. It had just the right balance of colour, emotion and definition.

3rd photo: [] This picture is amazing in almost every way possible. The colours are bold and vibrant, and both the foreground and background have interesting scenes. I also thought that this picture was clear, but not clear at the same time, which made it even more interesting to look at. I think that there were obviously some effects added, it's hardly possible for a natural scene to have colours that bright. This picture made me feel both calm and hyper at the same time, calm for the relaxing, peaceful scene, and hyper for the abnormally bright colours. I thought that whoever took this did an amazing job with hardly any areas for improvement, except for maybe next time, lower the colour boost.

Mrs. Pantel's comments:

You have chosen three very different yet effective photos. Your comments regarding the photo set up are clearly expressed and you give simple reactions to what you have seen. I have not seen quite that dramatic of a difference as in the third picture. The dirt and sky really make the purple stand out. Thanks for the extra photo because it had some extra features that you were not able to comment on in the first three.

4th photo: [] (photo on the second to the left coloum, second from the bottom row) This beautiful photo features two playful tiger cubs pouncing on each other. I don't think that there were any special effect added, because the colour of the photo is fairly bland and it does not look like there were anything added to the picture or anything removed from it. The over-all presentation of the picture was nice; it was very detailed and was of good quality. This picture made me feel hyper, almost like the young tigers energy is transfering over to me. I think that the only thing that I would of done to improve the picture would be to boost the colour a bit. The colour, as I said before, was overly plain and even slightly un-appealing. Other than that, I thought that the picture was very nice and fairly funny and amusing to look at.
