Self Evaluation
(45-50 pts.) || 80 – 89% (40 - 44 pts.) || <80% (<40 pts.) || __Critique Comments__: In terms of the concept of //Rule of Thirds//, I believe this shot demonstrates it. The spot between the boy's eyes falls on the upper left-hand cross-point. And in terms of central concept, the boy is placed strategically so that he and his stimulated look and posture amid bubbles are clearly the central concept. The focus is okay, but I have much to learn. I would have focused more if I had known how, but I shot this on "auto," and it provides a wide depth of field. I think it may have something to do with my lens. With a telephoto lens, I could have focused more on the concept. In terms of shutter speed and aperture, I think that these were okay, but I continue to learn about these and reflect on how they impact such a photo. The tags fit the photo, and if a person were conducting a search on the web, these are the tags I feel would warrant their finding this photo.

This assignment was of value to me because I was first taught the //Rule of Thirds// in a training session, and I learned it wrong. I never checked my own understanding of the concept or looked it up to verify that I understood it, and as a result, I got very little out of it. Now, I get it, and I understand that it's a good "rule of thumb," but it's not something you have to follow in all photographs.

Peer Critique
__Name__: David Ackman

(45-50 pts.) || 80 – 89% (40 - 44 pts.) || <80% (<40 pts.) || __Critique Comments__: I thought you did an excellent job of utilizing the concept; the shot is divided nicely, and although perfect thirds are not evident in all areas of the shot, I thought the composition was great (regardless of what anyone says, I think it is important for all shots to have a good sense of symmetry); yours does. I also thought the technical aspects were very well done. All in all, this is a very well done photo, and I think it is better than the rating you gave yourself.
