Jurors Scores Critiques
Richard Shapka 7.5 An appropriate title with the two young men enjoying a donkey ride. Good interaction between them. Nice scene walking through the foreground flowers. Focus is sharp on donkey and boys.
It would be good to see the second boy’s face. Wait for a moment or call out to them.
Foreground flowers are bright in B & W and should be toned down in LR or CS. Add some light to the donkey’s eye.
Next time think about selecting an aperture that will blur the background, say f4 or 5.6.
   
Kerri-Jo Stewart 9 Great documentary shot
Nice exposure
Great timing!
Technically correct as well
   
Henry Schnell 8 Nice story, very high key image, where the main subject is lost. Try reducing flower intensity.
   
Total Score: 24.5
