Black Acrylic Glass photography

This picture was taken with a glass sheet laid down under the subject. It created a subtle reflection and gave the story a lot more personality. Use an fstop 16 to make the background really black.

 I like Linda's wild card photo the best because, it's so cute and funny. The photo makes me happy and i'm sure it would make others feel the same. She really portrays a lot of personality in this photo.

 My least favorite photo is her people photo because, I think she could've captured better expressions on the peoples faces and the exposure and clarity could've been better as well. Linda has so much potential and can do a lot better with taking photos of people.

I think Linda's photo are really great. She does a remarkably good job at capturing scenery while still telling a story.  She also is really good at making sure the exposure and composition of the photo are just right.

I think Linda could improve on capturing expressions. People look a lot for photographers to get a photo of them in their natural expressions and its a good thing to practice and get skilled at.

She did the best on the prompt "things". The roller coaster is so "picture perfect". It's something I could find in a magazine, I feel. Really creative!!!

I picked this photo because, the makeup and fashion is very bold and gives the photo an edgy tone that I like.  I see depth of field. The subject is very in focus while the background is blurred. Photo by Robin Walker
