This is not bad, except that there is no obvious center of interest. I would like it better if all three girls in the center were turned toward the camera. But I do like the blur of passers by. > http://slideone.com/PAW2002/week04alt1.02.html > Self Crit: The composition feel good to me but the small amount of emptiness > in the center may bother me a little.

The foreground is the most interesting part of this picture, and you should probably have focused close on these two people rather than taking in the entire scene. > http://slideone.com/PAW2002/week04alt2.02.html > Self Crit: I think this shot would have worked better if I was up on a chair > looking down a little.

This is actually my favorite of these pictures. Not seeing the photographer's face does not bother me. > http://slideone.com/PAW2002/week04alt3.02.html > Self Crit: The girl painting seems ok.

Here, I would lower the camera a bit (it seems like you are looking down on the girl) and wait until the woman in the background disappeared. Good job with the developing and scanning, BTW. You have retained detail in the highlights with a 1600 film, well done!
