jao - http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=4992129&postcount=3 - demomnstrating that crit doesnt have to be negative so long as you say more than 'nice shot'

 

[Buck]

Russ' (Dervish99) critique is both constructive but in a way that is not demotivating or negative.

Judging and discussion of the nominations is now underway in the staffroom.
Thank you to everyone who took part in this thread

OK following the judging we have a winner.....

The winner is:

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=4940042&postcount=2

As well as saying what she likes about the shot, she's also clearly explained what's not working so well and most importantly why it's not working.
There's some great practical advice on what could be done differently next time too.

The nomination was actually made by SarahLee so that means NO prize for the nominator so we get a second prize going ........

So thats first prize to Christine - Kerioak and second prize to Maria HopefulM.
