    Re: Chongola

    I apologize, I just read the forum guidelines....this photo is certainly a bit older than 2 years, i just wanted some feedback on it, as it was after my college critique days. Forgive me, I will pay more attention in the future.

    Re: Chongola

    Dubbs - The 2 year rule isn't written in stone and unless there's obvious clues on the date in the photo, who's to know anyhow.

    It's a fair shot but a lot of contrast. I like the angle wrt seeing the background in addition to the kids there, but it does seem more like a snapshot than anything. But it isn't easy to pose people goofing around like that either. The shot's a bit on the soft side. I like how it shows everything happening - a day in the life of the Chongola.
