Quality, Composition, and Impact
As a club, we have decided to try a review and continuous feedback using three categories. These are Quality, Composition, and Impact. To help us understand what those words meant for us, we ran a workshop-style event on 15 September 2009; the results are in the table below. And yes, there is some overlap!
We discovered there is a w-i-d-e range of interpretations for each category. And a wide range of views about the same image – some were under whelmed others wow’d; some impressed by techniques which others thought a gimmick. Each of us analyses an image in a different way. There is no single right or wrong for an image – except that we did recognize the difference between a snapshot and a photograph.
Hopefully, this helps us to give the feedback, and helps the volunteers who are presenting the critiques.
