1.6 Commenting on and critiquing images As the course progresses you will look critically at your own photos, and I hope that you will comment on the work of your fellow students’ too. What will you say about the pictures you see? You may be quite critical of your own photos, though I hope that you also recognise their good points. The important thing when you comment on other people’s images is to be encouraging and try to find something good to say about the pictures you look at. No one likes negative criticism, however, it is possible to offer constructive criticism that can help you, and your fellow students, to develop as photographers. As you learn about different aspects of photography and image making try to consider how each aspect affects the way that you view an image. For example, notice whether, when you see an image, you look at the composition of the image first, or the technical quality? For many of us our immediate response to a photo is intuitive – we like it because it reminds us of something, it has colours that have good associations for us, or it shows a place we would like to go to. There is nothing wrong with this response – a good image should evoke an emotional response to engage the viewer. What do you do, though, if that emotional response is a negative one? It may be a great picture of something that has bad associations for you, like spiders, or roller-coasters. Even if you are not keen on the subject depicted you should still try to recognise the good qualities of the picture. A positive response to a picture is a good start for critiquing it. Consider what you like about the photo and then say why it works for you. If your response is negative then you need to think why that is and how to offer some positive comments to help improve the image, or assist the photographer next time they have a similar photographic opportunity. Here is a chart showing some of the things that you might look for in a photo. You will see that one column is headed ‘positive’ and another ‘negative’. These are really different ways of looking at the same aspects of a photograph. I have given an example of the kind of comment I might make for each aspect. Your ability to make meaningful comments on each of these aspects will develop as you go through the course. Composition and framing (Positive) Is the subject of the image clear? Is this an interesting composition? Is the subject well placed in the image? Is the subject well framed by the foreground? Is the subject well placed in the frame? Is the image cropped well? Does the chosen view point enhance the composition? Composition and framing (Negative) Is the photo too busy? Could the composition be improved? Is the subject placed in such a way that it is not clear what the subject is? Does any foreground framing dominate the picture rather than frame it? Is the subject too centred or too near the edges? Could the image be cropped more tightly to improve it? Does the view point detract from the composition? Interestingness (Positive) Does the picture demand your attention? Is the image quirky, humorous, or breathtaking? – in other words does it evoke emotion for the viewer? Does the image show something in a new light, or give an insight into something you have not seen before? Interestingness (Negative) Is the point of the picture unclear? Is this a picture that you would skip over very quickly? Has a photographic opportunity been missed? Light and shadow (Positive) Does the light reflect off the subject in a particularly pleasing way? Do the shadows in the photo add to the texture of the image? Is the exposure in the whole image good? Light and shadow (Negative) Is the light highlighting details that detract from the subject? Are the shadows too heavy or too distracting? Is the whole image too light or too dark? Technical quality (Positive) Is the image sharp and crisp in all the right places? Is there an appropriate depth of field? Technical quality (Negative) Is the image blurred or fuzzy in important areas? Is the depth of field too short or too long for the chosen subject? Colour (Positive) Is there a good balance of colour? Are the colour tones well balanced? Colour (Negative) Are there colour clashes in the image that distract from the subject? Do the tones in the image look natural? Editing (Positive) Is any photo editing subtle enough not to be distracting or unnatural? Editing (Negative) Has the image been over-edited, for example oversharpened, or adjustment made to colour or light that look unnatural? If there are multiple problems with a picture it may be most helpful to prioritise your criticisms and focus on one or two things that could be fixed. It can be a bit dispiriting to have a long essay of comments, no matter how helpful they are! From T189 Digital photography - The Open University |

Hmmm... Ech denken dass eng Persoun déi eppes vun Fotografie kennt déi Lëscht net brauch well een automatesch op déi Saachen oppasst wann een eng Foto kuckt an kritiséiert. . |

Eng Persoun déi net vill vun Fotografie kennt gesinn ech awer och ganz schlecht do setzen, mat sou enger Lëscht, an Punkt fir Punkt oofzehaaken, an dobäi net sécher sinn ob dat och stemmt |
