OPA_027_ENTERTAINER.jpg

HONOURS Great image, you have not got in too close so we can see what she is doing, the person in the background adds to it, I might have toned her face down a touch though.

OPA_097_ITS RUDE TO STARE.jpg

HONOURS I really like the placement of the monkey and having the negative space on the right I feel balances the image out. The stare straight at you also works along with the shallow depth of field.

OPN_122_LANDSCAPE_PHOTOGRAPHER_AT_WORK.JPG

MERIT Would have been good to see how he got up there. The person gives the landscape scale which is good. I can see a few spots on the top right possibly a dirty sensor. Did feel it was just lacking a punch of colour

OPA_080_Docked.jpg

ACHIEVED Interesting double exposure. But I feel that the over laid image is too strong so makes it very distracting, if you can tone it down so it is less than the main image would help

OPN_121_Andy.jpg

ACHIEVED Andy the lamb, nice lighting and tones you have created. I feel he should be on the right hand side, when you look at him your eyes follow his and they go out of the frame. If you could have panned to the right a bit could have worked.

OPA_026_A Skippers Sunset.jpg

MERIT I like the light on the top and every thing else is in shadow, for the title I would have liked to have seen some sunset colour. The bottom area is not really adding to it so I would look at cropping half of it off. The small animal standing by the back just adds more to the image

OPN_134_DESPERATE POSSESSION.jpg

HONOURS Great that you have got in there nice and close, not a place I would like to be. You can see the desperation on his face to hold control of the ball. Having just the one face makes it a good focal point

OPB_095_FRED AND THE SUNFLOWERS.JPG

ACHIEVED Good sunny fun image, I felt you could have tried different angles as the bear and the sunflower are not connected and they compete with each other. Take you time and try different things, the bears not going anywhere

OPN_118_Guitarist.jpg

MERIT A different angle which is good to see. His face is darker and out of focus so it is not distracting. The light on the neck of the guitarist helps keep your eyes in the right area

OPA_92_Into the daylight.jpg

MERIT Interesting view, which I do like and the lines of light all work well. Did feel that there was too much black so if you could have got closer or cropped it a bit tighter might have helped.

OPN_135_ALEXANDRA BRIDGE.jpg

MERIT Nice lighting on the landscape and bridge. Great reflection. I didn’t mind the bridge on a slight angle and the reflection goes the other way. My eyes did go back and forth a bit, maybe a person the on the bridge to make a focal point could have made it stronger
