Final Photo Critique

1. From: mendieobritsckewisch.blogspot.com

This photo really caught my eye. It looks like someone painted the flower. There is a warm feeling to this photo, good detail and clarity. Really a stunning image. I would reduce clarity in the backround to enhance the flowers color even more.

This photo is lacking life, and vibrancy. One way she could better this photo is to make sure that the sunlight catches the ducks eye. I would warm up the photo, enhance the contrast, clarity and exposure.

I like this photo alot, there is a warm vibrent feel, and one's eyes are attracted to the centure focal paint. The color contrast between the sky blue and the mustered brown branches make the photo stand out. In all a quality photo.

I like the simplicity and black& white contrast. This s a really amazing image, for the tree vines/branches provide the horizontal lines with less clarity to focus on the water drop.

I really like this image, it is tranquil and a beautiful fishing sunset. I like how the fisherman is casting into the sun, dispersing behind the mountain. the colors in this photo draw attention to the fisherman's silhouette.

I like how the eye has light, how the duck is almost posing for the photo. I think by making the duck the main focal point with the background in blur was a good choice. This is a good photo due to the amout of light at hand.

I really like this photo, and the creativity it took to capture this image. The white snow creates a very nice contrast. It looks like the ice is alive, and captured the tree branch. I would crop this photo ever so slightly more.

I think this is one of the most skilled photos taken this semester. This photo of him catching a rainbow trout, in shallow waters on a sunny day, set it up for a good photo. He had to hold the fish and take the photo. (Skillful) I like the quality and detail in the image.

This photo is simple but a good landscape photo. There is a good quality of light, detail and clarity. I like how you can see the waters previous water levels, shadows and sky color. The river looks like it is moving due to the great use of horizontal lines.

This image is beautiful and eye catching. I like how there are a variety of colors and how the backround complements the foreground. I would ass more saturation, exposure and clarity.

1. This photograph of a Brown Bear catching a salmon was captured at Katmai National Park (7/06). Taken with a Canon 5D 400mm f/5.6 ISO250 1/2000s Av Priority -1/3EV. This is a great picture, taken with the correct camera settings, creating a sharpened clear, attractive image.

2. This photo was taken with a Canon 5D 17mm f/22 ISO100 1.6s Av Priority -1/3EV. The image has a relitively long exposure, proberbely using a tripod, with a good use of filter, taken with good camera settings, allowing the yellow of the leaves to stand out and amplify the image.

3. BLACKSANDS- Taken with a Canon 5DII 17mm f/11 ISO200 1.3s Manual. This image is WOW, there is a grate use of camera settings, and exposure in black and white. With most of the attention drawn to the foreground and faded due to exposure of the water.

4.Canon 5DII 85mm f/1.8 10s ISO100 Manual, This image looks like two images have been put together, with a long exposure and camera adjustments making the night dark and the snow white. Not really a good image.

5. This image was taken with a Canon 1DIII 28mm f/13 ISO200 HDR. The yellow outlining of the image makes the image stand out, but not look real. I think this image has been edited too good. The foreground is the main focal point with great clarity.

6.This image was taken with a, Canon 1DIV 840mm f/5.6 ISO400 1/800. The image is well done due to the birds eye having light, providing a seance of life to the image. The colors of the bird and the sharpness of the image make the image so much more attractive. The great usage of ios and shutter speed allow the photographer to get the perfect photo.
