    Problems:

    - The blown out cheek

    - The shadow across the right eye

    - The partial eyebrows distract me

    - The distracting red stripe on the left

     

     

    To fix a blown out cheek you can do many things... go into shade, hoist a bedsheet infront of the sun, etc.

    To fix the dark shadow. Again, shade will give much less harsh/shadowy light and putting money towards a reflector would help.

    No comment on the eyebrows. The red stripe can be fixed by finding a cleaner background...

     

    I realize that you are only 16 (I'm 17) but without critique nobody gets anywhere! So keep shooting!!! :D

    Just a few things to watch for...

     

    1)if you are willing enough to include the thumb and pinky in the frame... Try for the whole hand next time. :D

    2) His face seems a WEE bit soft... but it could just be me. ;)

    3) As a future (hopefully) photojournalist, I have seen and been told the importance of keeping things away from peoples' faces (esp. in sports.) This picture is still OK in this respect (in my mind anyways) because the ball is only minimally obstructing his face.

     

    In conclusion of this sermon we will sing hymn number 347... ok, just joking. In conclusion I think you have captured a cool moment in a kid's day and done a pretty good job of it... but the above mentioned tips might help to make it more aesthetically sound. Hope this helps!

    So there I was, in my back yard, and one of the family rabbits decides to investigate my lens... How could I have improved this shot? Thanks for looking!

    Aaron, You are showing some good skill, and I want to encourage you to practice, practice, practice and keep practicing. You never stop learning in photography. Try experimenting with different angles, etc. but in photojournalism the viewers emotion is vital. This photograph does not provoke too much emotion for me. To look back and see how you could have done this shot differently: you could have gotten right next to the nearest fencepost, kneeled down and shot wide angle of him with his eyes closed and the smoking house and firefighters in the background. That way, I have something simple to focus on as the subject, and see an exausted firefighter who tried hard to save someones house.


    Here are some links for you to check out:

    wcnpa.ca - Western Canadian News Photographers Association (WCNPA)

     

    Sportsshooter.com - not just for sports, but for photojournalism in general.

     

    Good job, and never stop shooting!

     

    /daniel... just some (hopefully helpful) thoughts...
