Critiques welcome. I am 10 years old. My mom is a BP member too, Carol Teal. I am using her old camera now. #484360

Tricia L. Olson-Giles July 15, 2006

Justin, for just being 10, you've got a good eye. Looks like mom taught you the rule of thirds. And the contrast of the texture of the stones and the canteen is great. I might have photoshopped out the grass, but one could argue it was a splash of color. :) Way to go!!! #3032371

Justin J Teal July 15, 2006

Tricia thank you very much for your nice comment. Yes, my mom told me about the rule of thirds, and I have a grid that I can use on my camera if I need to. I do like the grass for the color. #3032445

Tricia L. Olson-Giles July 15, 2006

This is my little piece of advice, and it works particularly if you're doing fine art shots. YOU are the artists. if YOU achieved what you set out to achieve, then you were a success. #3032711

Roger Fry July 15, 2006

Hey Justin, you are destined to be a great photographer! It was 40 years before I knew about the rule of thirds. Well done. Nice detail!

Justin,
This one I like very much, very much indeed!! As much as I know you'll like photography. DON'T let it get in the way of School(EWW!!) Something you might practice is your set-up(what you want to photograph) what you want it to look like, the image I mean, look at it from
different ways, near and not so near, take your time before you take your shot. #3033122

Justin J Teal July 15, 2006

Thank you again Tricia. I like your greyhound in you mini-picture.

Thank you Roger for looking and for your nice comment.

Willard, taking pictures is more fun than school, but I will work hard in class, or mom gets mad :) Thank you for looking and for your advice. I will remember that. #3033833

Carol Teal July 15, 2006

Justin, I didn't know you took this, and I love the texture and the gray of the rock and the color of the canteen. And you did good by not putting the canteen right in the middle of the photo! I don't know exactly where you found this, but this is something mom would have liked to have found first! You will have to point it out to me on the next trip :D #3034573

HEY JUSTIN

NICE JOB
GOOD COMPOSITION.

THE EYE MOVES NICELY ACROSS THE WALL, WHICH IS NICE TO YOUR SUBJECT ON THE RIGHT.

I LIKE THE GREEN WEED BELOW THE CANTEEN
VERY CLEAR SHOT WITH NICE TEXTURE IN THE BRICK

THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SEEING SOMETHING ORDINARY AND MAKING IT LOOK GOOD IN A PHOTOGRAPH.

YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!!

WELCOME TO BP

Very nice image, Justin...and I agree with Tricia's comments. You are the artist. Learn the rules of composition, practice them, and then start breaking them. Pretty soon, you will have developed your own style.

You have a very good eye. Keep clicking!
Regards,
Mike B-

P.S. I just learned the rule of thirds last month when I joined and someone said I made "good use of it!" ... We all learn at different paces. :) #5587753
