BASIC LEVEL ENTRIES
-
- FIRST PLACE 9.0 I like that you photographed through the trees to get the moon. Exposure looks good to me. I like that you have the moon off center. The image looks like it has motion blur. You could use a tripod to help with that. The building tops on the bottom distract me. I think they could be cropped out and I think you could crop some off the top and left side.
ADVANCED LEVEL ENTRIES
-
- FIRST PLACE 10.0 I like the composition and lighting on this. The tree to the right distracts me. I think you could take that out.
-
- SECOND PLACE 10.0 Good exposure on this image. I like the placement of the moon low on the horizon and off to the left. I don’t think that you need so much sky. I would crop off the top almost down to the tree top. I think you could even crop a little off the left to get the moon a little closer to the left side.
-
- THIRD PLACE 10.0 I like that you did a silhouette shot on this. I would try lightening up a little by the person to get attention on him. The white streak is distracting to me. I think you could crop off some top and have more on the bottom. WEBMASTER COMMENT: The white streak is the fishing line and it makes the picture.
-
- HM 9.0 I love the idea. It is great to be able to see the stars so I can see that it is night. Watch were the light is hitting. Here it is lighting up the ground. You could lighten up the face of the cat. I would clean up the clutter around its feet. I would give it more room in front and crop some off the back.
MASTER LEVEL ENTRIES
-
- FIRST PLACE 10.0 I like that I really get a feel of being there. The moon in the sky is great, just the right size. I like the way the light hits the scene. The boat and reflections in the water along with the chairs all add a sense of peace to me.
-
- SECOND PLACE 10.0 I like the depth of field in this image. The exposure looks good to me as well. For me the centered position of the plant is distracting. I would crop off the right a little.
-
- THIRD PLACE 10.0 I like the way the moonlight lights up the bridge. There is still some detail in the shadows which I feel is good. I think the image could be a little bit darker. I would crop off the top just enough to crop out the portion of the bridge that shows on the right side.
-
- HM 9.0 I like the shot taken through the branches. The exposure of the sky and branches looks good to me. I would like to see the moon a little darker with a little detail in it. I think the image could be cropped off the top and right side to give the moon a look of being higher in the sky since it is small. This will also help de-center it.
