I chose the above picture to critique by Julio Rivera as I felt he did a great job capturing angles and used editing to his advantage to do so by changing his image to black and white.

Take 52 Weekly Photo Challenge – Critique
The #Take52 Weekly Photo Challenge has REALLY taken off this year and I am happy to report so many people are fully participating, uploading and sharing on the Facebook Group and commenting and critiquing other people’s images.
It’s been really difficult for me to keep up with the stream and comment on everyone’s so rather than discriminate, I’ve decided to take one image per week and do a little video critique here on the blog. I’m doing these videos for my students enrolled in my online classes, anyways so one more doesn’t make much difference!
So we are beginning at Week 4: Creamy
The image below was submitted by Katie Hunter – Thanks Katie!
