May Plus Critiques Recap

We had some stellar photos posted this month in the ON1 Plus Critiques gallery. We also saw a group of new folks posting, and we saw a lot more activity in the comments, both of which we love to see. Thanks to everyone for participating!

Hudson and I went through the gallery, and chose 30 photos that we felt showcased good work, or offered some teaching moments that could help us all. And, since we can’t critique every photo submitted, we have gone through and commented on many of the photos submitted. And, with that, here are a few of our favorite photos from the month.

3253 Berry Picker, by Paule Hjertaas

Paule’s shot of a Hepatic Tanager with a berry in its beak is spectacular: the face, eye and the berry are perfectly in focus, as is the claw holding the bird to the branch. And the composition is wonderful too, with a lovely blurred background, and the right amount of negative space at the bottom right of the frame. Just wonderful, Paule.

May Plus Photo Critiques open

May’s Plus Photo Critiques gallery is now open for submissions. You can submit photos via the uploads page through Sunday, May 17.

This month, there isn’t a theme, but a few people mentioned that they had missed an opportunity to submit for last month’s theme. If you’d like to continue along with the pandemic/isolation/quarantine theme, feel free to do so. Put the hashtag #isolation in the description field, with a little bit about what made you choose this photo.

April 2020 Plus Critiques Recap

Thanks to everyone who submitted photos for our April critiques. For a theme this month, we asked you to come up with photos that addressed your feelings about the lockdowns and isolation related to the current pandemic, and we received some wonderful submissions. In the video, which can be viewed directly above, we chose 30 photos from the group to talk about, to showcase some stellar shots, and to offer constructive criticism on others. (Since we can’t critique every photo, we’ll also comment on some of the others in the gallery in the coming days.)

February Plus critiques recap

Aside from some unfortunate gorilla-taunting ?, it was a great month in the Plus critiques gallery. Hudson and I chose some stellar work that deserved a shoutout, as well as some other work that was close, but could use a little bit of help. (The key word of the month, according to Hudson, was ‘wider.’) The video, which showcases about 20 photos, can be viewed by clicking on the thumbnail above.

January 2019 Photo Critiques – Holiday Edition

Hi everyone! Thanks again for sharing your fantastic photos with Rick and I. We have been enjoying seeing the world through your lenses and watching the improvement from month to month with the regular submitters. We hope you enjoy our critique this month, and if you haven’t submitted images for critique or commented on the galleries, I’d urge you to jump in and get involved. Looking at others’ images and having others comment on your own images is one of the best way to grow as a photographer.
