Bubblez

I caught my sister Blowing Bubbles.

Hey Channon!
Those are wuite good pictures you got there.
These pictures are very staurated with color and the white balance isn't right. You should try messing with the hue/saturation levels to make sure the bubbles are more in focus and visible. Oh and really cute sis!
1. This one is the best of the three. The angle is really good, but the rods/bars in the picture tend to shift your focus to them.
2.I'm not really fond of tilted pictures, but in this, I love the distorted face through the biubble. The rest of the picture isn't all that good.
3.I like the angle and the lone bubble and the expression. But, the image is too blurry and the colors too unnatural for me to like it.

Keep it up. I like your pictures!

Wow Channon. These are absolutely beautiful. I don't really have much to say, because I loved everything about it. It seems like it could be the cover a home and garden magazine or something. I loved the angle and the effects you added to it. However, that does seem to be a problem. You added so much focus on the girl and the background that we can't really see the bubbles! I know they are supposed to not be quite as visible, but I think you could have added some really cool looking focus on the bubbles if you put so much on the girl.
That's all. It was great stuff.
PM with questions.

Hey Channon!

These are good. The angle is interesting - which is good - but, the composition is a little off-kilter. Her chin is cut off, and I think it would have been better to see the whole chin. As it is, it looks snapshot-esque.

I like the coloring -- gives a lively, vignette-y sense to the photo and it suits the subject well. Good clarity and all, but the face positioning is a mild annoyance in appreciating the photo.

I'm curious to see more of your work. For now, good job and gold star. Keep it up.

Hey Channon,

Photo 1 - I think this is my favourite of the bunch of three. I like the composition in this one, how you have her in the bottom left corner and then the bubbles streaming forth and the bars in the background kind of add a nice touch to the background and make more interesting angles and lines. I would have liked to see a tiny bit more of the girl, not too much though because I like that the focus is on the bubbles mainly but perhaps it would be nice just to see more of her hand and then you get more of a sense of the source of the bubbles. Otherwise though I like this shot and the coloration of it.

Photo 2 - I don't really like this one. I think you have lost the nice composition that was in the last shot. The lines aren't as good and you have lost this like stream of bubbles that was present in the last photo. I do like how one of the bubbles as magnified part of her face though, that is interesting but composition wise, not as good as the last one.

Photo 3 - This is my least favourite. I think the closer in you get the less successful the composition is. It also looks like you haven't coloured this one the same way as the others and it kind if loses something in that respect. I understand that you may have been going for trying to get the single bubble but I just think it's not as effective as the multitude of bubbles that there is in the former shots. Also I think the focus is slightly off on this shot, she seems a bit fuzzy.

I really did like the first shot though and, like June, I would be interested to see more work from you. If you have any questions feel free to PM.

Wow, these are so cool! I admire your sister's talent at blowing bubbles as well.

I love the colors of the bubbles, especially in the first one. They seem to really glow and stand out. A problem I had with the second one--why is it sideways? Just wondering; I mean, it's OK, but I don't particularly appreciate having to turn my head 90 degrees just to see something clearly and understandably.

Also, as Beckiw said, I don't think you need to close in on the girl's face. I mean, your sister is definitely pretty, , but the subject/title of this thread is 'Bubblez', no?

However, great job overall, and I can't wait to see more of your works! Previous reviewers' comments hold true for me, I think.

REALLY cool photo
