July/Aug 2018 Photography Contest
Macro Beginner
Tidelands Photography Club
The center should be sharper. Possiby could have been sharper with a higher fstop.
Beginner “Inner Mag”
12
The frog is the subject and is blurry. Top left corner is distracting. Good try.
Beginner “Resting Tree Frog”
10
Beginner “Mister Grasshopper”
14
Lighting is a little strange. Two brown lines at the top draw the eye away fom the subject. Focus is excellent.
July/Aug 2018 Photography Contest
Macro Intermediate
Tidelands Photography Club
Nice shot. The picture should have been tighter because the background is distracting.
Intermediate “Bee-Utiful Landing”
13
Good idea but the limb is over sharpened to the point of producing artifacts on the sides
Intermediate “Rose Droplet”
12
Intermediate “Sunflower”
13
Nice subject. The shadow below the bee is a little distracting. The flower is mostly sharp.
Intermediate “Shell”
8
Nothing is sharp. The subject looks interesting if it was sharp.
Intermediate “Pink Peony”
14
Could have been a little sharper. The composition was excellent and the colors and treatment was good.
Intermediate “Macro”
14
Nice picture. If we had that picture we would have repaired those yellow spots at the bottomWe like the sharpness of the overall picture.
Intermediate “Yellow Beauty”
14
Excellent photo. It could be a little sharper.
Intermediate “Hidden Beauty”
11
Great idea but the picture should be sharper.
Intermediate “Flower Power”
12
The moth and flower are great. The rest of the flower is very distracting. Have you tried to burn the light spots so they are lesas distracting?
The front flower is sharp but the other are distracting. Use another composition to get rid of distractions.
Intermediate “Hydrangea”
11
Intermediate “Red Blossom”
11
The center of the flower should be sharp but it is not. Composition should be tighter. The large background is distracting.

Macro Advanced
Tidelands Photography Club
Advanced “Lost an Antenna”
12
The picture does not have enough of it infocus.
Advanced “Maters on the
Vine” 13
Nice sharp photo but it does not really qualify as a macro photo.
Advanced “Bee Happy”
13
Excellent. I think we all struggle with sharpness in macro photography. Perhaps a higher f stop would have made the petals a little less distracting.
Advanced “Abstract”
14
The idea is very good. Can it be any sharper?
Advanced “Raindrops”
13
Not a bad photo. It just does ot have enough of a wow factor to score higher
July/Aug 2018 Photography Contest
Open
Tidelands Photography Club
Open “Waterlily”
11
The idea for the picture was good. It shows signs of being overworked. Look at the highlites around it.
Open “Birds of Prey”
14
Unusual treatment in this picture. It really makes a portrait look for the birds. Our only complaint is the feathers are not as sharp as we would like to see.
Open “Butterfly”
12
Colorful picture. The colors of black and yellow are nice but this picture has so many spots of yellow that it makes the photo to busy. It probably would look better cropped in tighter.
Open “Hummingbird”
14
Nice hummer. The head is sharp but the body is a little soft.
Open “Magnolia Blossom”
13
Nice Magnolia picture. The center of the flower should be sharp and it isn't. The color difference draws the eye in like it is supposed to.
Open “To Us”
14
Nice picture, the idea was great. We found the line running through the picture to be distracting. Can it lightend a little? The guy also has the overlay in the back of the head which is a little distracting.
Open “Hunting Island Breaker”
13
Nice picture of the breaker. We think the picture could have been worked a little more. Try darkening the clouds slightly which will give a totally different look to the picture.
Open “Anhinga Grooming”
14
The head is nice and sharp. The black and white of the body draws the eye in and the body appears to not be as sharp as the head.
Open “Gator Crossing”
14
The gator is nice and sharp. We think the picture could be cropped and cleaned up a little bit.
Open “Bare Branches”
12
Nice picture but it does not have much of a wow factor.
Open “Fire”
13
Love the fire coming out of the cannon. It looks like you were trying to zoom in a little to much. The feet were cut off of the people and a portion of the cannon wheel.
Open “Catch of the Day”
13
Nice subject. The fish and bird are in action which is facinating. Our score was held back because of not being sharp enough.
Open “Golden Sunrise”
13
Excellent potential. We feel that it could be a real winner if you backed up a little so the leaves were in the frame and if you could get rid of the lens flare in the grass.
Open “Regal Eagle”
12
Eagles are beautiful to take pictures of. The rocks appear to be more in focus than the bird. Since the sky is not interesting why not crop in closer.
Open “Red Bridge”
12
Nice colorful scene.The big branch going across the top breaks the picture up. Could another angle maybe eliminate the problem?
Open “Otter”
11
This is a cute little guy. I think the exposure was not set properly.
Open “Arches N.P.”
12
Nice subject. The white vignette also works. Some of the picture has a halo around it and overall the picture is very noisy. Do you use a noise reduction program? The first thing we do is run noise reduction.
Open “King Vulture”
13
A face that only a mother could love. The face is nice and sharp but the neck is fuzzy. The picture could be cropped where only the head is visible and it would score higher.
Open “Sunset”
14
Nice sunset. The picture could be cropped in a lot truly making the sunset the subject of the picture.
Open “Bluebird”
12
The picture is really to small to properly judge

Excellent photo. We like the way the Dragonfly and the stem are both sharp.
Intermediate “Dragonfly”
15
Intermediate “Nautilus Shell”
15
Excelent composition. Everything is sharp. Even though it is white we don'tr see any blow out.
Advanced “Need More
Pollen” 15
Really a nice macro photo.
Advanced “Magnolia
Blossom Intimacy” 15
Nice photo. It has interest and color to attract you.
Open “Gone Fishing”
15
Great picture in difficult circumstances.
Open “Chihuly at Biltmore”
15
Very colorful and the eye is drawn into the picture.
Open “Day Break at Bulls Island”
15
Great picture. The sunrise is good and the reflection of the tree in the water is outstanding.
