Beginner
“Looks Real to Me”
11
Statue is sharp but the angle is such
that the large shadow takes away
from the subject.
Beginner
“Stairs”
10
Sharp picture. The floor on the right side
takes your eyes away from the main
subject. It would be better if more of the
stairway showed.
Beginner
“Apple Bowl”
12
Nice sharp picture. The background is
a little distracting and pulls your eyes
a way from the subject.
Beginner
“Jewelry”
10
Very busy subject. The dark hat appers
to be to dark to see the texture. The
chest of the cat seems to be blown out.
Beginner
“Grandma’s Sconce”
13
Nice colorful picture. It appears to have
everthing sharp.Could have a little bit
more space on the each side

“Called to Duty”
11
Neat subject. Our problem is that the helmet
needs to be blended into the picture. A small
white halo makes it stand out instead of
blending in.
Intermediate
“Red, White, & Glass”
13
We really like the idea. The problem we see
with it is in the right side of the of the flower.
The area seems to be blown out (lacks detail).
The wavy lines in the glass are really neat.
Intermediate
“Saddle”
11
Light leaking through
the back totally ruins the
picture, your eye goes
straight to it. The subject
is interesting and could
have scored higher. Also
the broom should either
been all in the picture or
totally out.
Intermediate
“Live Beach”
12
Picture is sharp and
colorful.The white
spot on the tail takes
your eyes straight to
it instead of going to
what we perceive as
the subject. The
subject is a little to
busy .
Intermediate
“Memories”
12
The subject is very interesting and the
pictue looks sharp. Our feeling is that the
picture is to dark.
Intermediate
“Just Like
Grandma’s
13
Good idea. The top of the picture
takes our eye out of the picture.
Intermediate
“Just Do It”
12
Nice subject. The only problem we see is with
the glasses. The bright white on the lens brings
your eye in and then it starts searching for the
rest of the glasses.
Intermediate
“Italian Tonight”
14
This is a good Arrangement
of the pieces for a still
life. In getting a little picky
There are several hot spots
in the glass. The secret to
this is to do it and not have
the hotspots.
Intermediate
“Do You Want
Lemon With It”
13
Nice idea. Probably should have adjusted the light
a little higher so that the back items would show a
little more; The hotspots on the pitcher need to be
removed. The spots are distracting.
Intermediate
“Mallard in
Stone”
9
The actual rock picture is ok but the
subject does not have enough interest.
Intermediate
“Dance Party”
12
Looks like a very
good set up. To
show it off more
the lighting or
background needs
to be changed so
that the elements
show up more.
Intermediate
“Bouys”
10
The picture just does not have any real
point of interest.
Intermediate
“Old Tools”
11
Picture is clear and sharp. To us it just
doesn't have a subject to grab your
attention.
Intermediate
“Spilling Shells”
13
A nice layout for the
shot. The diagonal
line makes for
interest. Picture is
sharp and the colors
go together nicely.
The upper left looks
like a lid for the box
but needs a little
more light possibly
even a light dodging
just so it can be seen
Intermediate
“Crosswords”
10
The picture does not have a real
subject and the eye goes wondering
looking for a subject.
Intermediate
“A La Matisse”
14
Nice picture. Our
complaint is the
background is very
busy and that
disracts from the
subject

“Sunday Sauce”
12
Good idea. The
lighting is not real
good. The words on
the bottle start to
disapear which
distracts from the rest
of the picture. We feel
the picture may have
been of more interest
if taken a little further
back showing more of
the bottle and vine.
Advanced
“Awaiting Ship”
10
We think the basic idea
was good but the
treament did not work
Advanced
“Morganite”
12
Nice idea. To make it work the rock on
the right needs a better reflection
Advanced
“Angel Among Us”
13
A nice artistic
approach. We would
liked to see a little
more shape to the top
of the angel. To us it
blends into the
background to much.
Advanced
“Model”
10
Good idea. This
would have
scored better if
everything was
in focus. Also the
brightspots in
the brim are
very distracting
Advanced
“Pottery & Flower”
11
Good composition. The picture is a little bit soft
and would probably show better if it was sharp.
Advanced
“Shelling”
9
Picture is to blurry to make out the objects
Advanced
“Mermaid”
11
The object was to
close to the
background and
the shadows make
confusion in the
picture.
Advanced
“Pretty in Pink”
14
This rose picture is
nice. We think a little
could be cropped off
the left side and
lowering the camara
a little bit could
possibly show the
rose a little better

“Hungry Heron”
12
The bird picture is very sharp. The rest
of the picture is very noisy
Open
“Lily in the
Garden”
12
Picture could be worked a little more
Bad spots are to bright so your attention
is brought to then instead of the subject.
Open
“Study”
14
Nice scene. Our only complaint is the light
in the front window is much to bright.
Open
“Chihuly Glass”
12
Nice colorful picture.The picture is soft
losing some detail
Open
“The Glen”
13
Great scene. The
picture is soft and
the bacl wall needs
to show a little bit
of texture
Open
“Iris”
13
The picture is nice but a little bit of work could make
it much better. We think the flowers can be lightened
and the yellow could be brightened to make the eyes
go straight to them.
Open
“Spring Bud”
13
The flower is very sharp and good color.
Probably needs to be cropped on the left
side.
Open
“Lightning”
13
Great picture it really caught the light at the
right time. There is way to much noise. We use
Topaz DeNoise on our pictures and it works
great.
Open
“Renewable Shoreline”
13
Good subject and for this picture we think mono is
perfect. To much noise in the sky.
Open
“Misty Morning”
14
Nice moody picture and the light is perfect for
this type of picture. We would suggest dodging
the trees on the right so that they have a little
bit of detail.
Open
“Sandy Dunes”
14
Sharp and colorful picture. The subject is to
much in the center
Open
“The Blacksmith”
13
Nice idea. We find there
is a lot ofarea that is not
essential to the picture
and should be cropped
out
Open
“Olde Glory
Greets the Dawn”
11
Nice sunset. However, we don't like part
of flag being cut off and the flag wrapping
around the pole.
Open
“Starburst”
12
The leaf is bright
enough to draw your
eye away from the
subject. It could be
darkend or removed.
Also the dead piece in
the subject should be
removed.
Open
“Lightpost”
11
The subject looks
good but maybe a
different angle
would show off
the detail better.
Open
“Flowers
Monet”
13
Very colorful.
Open
“Brookgreen Live Oak”
11
The tree appears not
to be very sharp. It
maybe ovr processed.
Open
“Lets Go To The
Barn”
11
The picture has a grungy look to it and we feel it
is too much for this picture. Also cutting the ear
off the horse isn't good
Open
“Sun Setting on Lady Liberty”
13
Nice picture under tough lighting.
Open
“Bodie Lighthouse”
13
Nice B&W. Tower apears to be leaning
Open
“Red & Blue
Boats On A
Black Sea”
12
Sharp photo. We would like to see a litle more of
the boats
Open
“Webs”
12
Large webs - We have not seen such big ones
Open
“Costa Rican Fishing Boats”
14 Very colorful.
Open
“Live Oak”
13
Nice photo. The bushes need to show more detail.
Open
“Love”
12
Nice idea but the way it is arranged it is to busy.
Open
“Cormorant”
11
Background has to many bright spots which
takes away from the bird.
Open
“OBX Wild Horse”
14
To many dust bunnies
in he picture
Open
“Fuel Fossil”
13
Picture should have
been futher back so that
the bottom of the pump
is not cut off.
Open
“Mr. Bufflehead”
14
Wehave never seen this type
of duck. The bill is very busy
and should be cleaned up.
Open
“Red Fox”
13
A vignette should be there but
not really visible. This is much
to dark.
15
Jan/Feb 2019 Photography Contest
Intermediate
“Rustic Arrangement”
15
Looks like a classical still life. Has a subject to
draw your eyes into. Getting picky with a nice
picture, we would like a tiny more space on the
left side.
Advanced
“Cherry on Forks”
15
Excellent photo. Picture is sharp
and the colors look good.
Open
“Arches”
15
Excellent picture. We think it looks good as
a black and white
Open
“Sail Boarder”
15
Excelent picture.
