After we look at a few successful images, we are going to take turn to scan the top three negatives from the first shoot and post to the ning site.
Visit your ning buddies and view their portraits tell them which portrait you like the best and why or why you wouldn't choose it. Be constructive with your advice. Please don't just say I like this... cool
As you know, the Oreo® is a cookie with two chocolate wafers on the outside and light, creamy filling on the inside. When you’re critiquing someone’s art or photogaph, think of the chocolate wafers (the parts that hold the whole together) as praise. The fluffy stuff in the center is where you can offer room for improvement
For example . . .
a) Chocolate wafer (praise): I really like your use of complementary colors in the composition. They make the image “pop.”
b) Fluffy stuff (room for improvement): I’m wondering, though, if it might be better without that tree on the left. Or perhaps toning down the green would allow me to focus better on the center.
c) End with another chocolate wafer (praise): Your depth if field works really well to emphasize the subject...
Criticism should be honest, and constructive. Nobody wins if the discussion is simply an exchange of warm fuzzies. The goal of every critique is to discover how to make a design better, not win a gold star for perfection.
