Here's a system that I am going to use....I thought I should post it so everyone can see how I arrive at things. I'm trying to get organized and better at this! Results from Challenge 2 will be up shortly! A- Composition / Arrangement - Are the objects in the photo arranged in a meaningful, pleasing manner or are they "haphazard"? Did the photographer use the best angle or otherwise interesting perspective? B- Focus / Sharpness - Is the object of the photo in focus? If not in sharp focus, does it appear to be an intentional effect to enhance the image in some "artistic" way? C- Lighting - Did the photographer use proper lighting of the subject matter? Do any extremes of darkness or brightness lend to or detract from the image content? D- Creativity / Imagination / Impact - Does the photographer show some creative thought or original idea in the making of this image? Does it tell a story or create emotion? E- Color / Gray scale - Do the photos have good use of color or gray scale. Are the colors and shades natural looking. F- The Challenget Theme - Does the photo match the theme? If the theme is sunsets and a photo has a shot of a car filling most of the shot with a sunset in the background, that is a shot of a car not a sunset. Your score should be adjusted accordingly. Overall Appeal - Still having trouble deciding if a photo should get a seven or eight. How does it appeal to you? This is "borrowed " from another site I belong to, and It's a helpful guide for me! this means a photo can have a total of 100 points.....10 for each except overall appeal counts for 25 as does challenge theme. I hope this isn't too confusing....and check my math when you get the scores!!!
