I went to Camera Club again… can you believe a whole month has passed again!! This time, I wasn’t quite as fortunate as last month with my results, but I must agree with their comments.
“Bubble”
Gold – they liked all the circles and the sharpness of his mouth and the bubble stick. Their only criticism was that his face is slightly soft.

“Angles and Lines”
Gold – they loved the angles and the perspective of the shot. The only criticism was the darkness of the crossbars and I could’ve tried using a flash to fix that.

“The weeds will win”
Silver – Oh they had loads to say about this one… there was nowhere for the eye to rest, it was too busy. The weeds at the top were blown out as well as the sky being overexposed. I actually do agree with them. I did try fix the sky because it is too pale, but I just couldn’t get it right because of the height of the weeds on the right. 
After tonight’s club judging, I’m 2 points short of the next grade. So basically, next month will be my last month at 2-star and then it’ll get tougher because I have to submit within different categories and I have to start entering salons (inter-club competitions).
If you are interested in following my Camera Club history, then you can follow the Photo Club tag to see all my old posts.
Well done!
I still love the one of the car, it has such character…

I don’t agree with most of the critique, especially Bradleys face being too soft – the focus falls on the bubble, thats what the photograph is about.
Well done though!!
Well done Jeanette, 2 golds and 1 silver is very good

Huh? I’m sorry but I have to disagree with all three criticisms. To me they are FEATURES of your photographs. Who are these people critiqueing you? BAH! I say to them! The only thing I would probably have done in addition to your great shots, is maybe sharpened the bubble, and brought out the yellow of the car a little more, but these are tiny things, and a matter of personal taste.

I also love the car – I still haven’t joined a local camera club and if I’m honest, it’s probably because I find all the critique intimidating… I know you learn a lot from it, but still!! Well done, you’ve worked really hard for it!
Karins last blog post..Bring it on!
Well done my girl!! I do love the first two – both so different but the Bradley’s bubble is my favourite.
