Nan has added her comments to each
picture.
However, always anxious to improve her photographic skills, she has
invited Walter Webb, our resident website advisor and critic to add
his comments. |

Walter has just returned from a comprehensive course on
photographic criticism, and feels well-prepared to add his comments |

Nan says,
"Hard working photographers."Walter says,
"I like the care which Nan has taken in preparing the elegant stances of
Dougie and Bill. Perhaps Nan has had some training herself in
modelling.
However, more time should have been taken with Bob's stance. I'm
afraid it looks a little like he's . . ." |

Nan says,
"Summer Assignment: People"Walter says,
"Again, the careful organising of the main figure works wonders for the
effectiveness of this photograph.
"I feel, though, that Nan should have asked the child in the blue to
move out of frame.
"I do understand, however, when the location has been taken over by a
nursery school trip, that it is difficult to keep the show-off little
brats out of the way.

"Before organisation (Picnic Break)."Below:
Nan says,
"What an improvement. Well placed in the correct thirds."
Walter says,
"Eh?
"It must be noted that the young lady in the light blue has lost her
concentration. It looks very much as if she's looking up the hill to
some scene of previous triumph." |

Nan says,
"Homeward bound"Walter says,
"What a lovely study of a delightful lady looking out past the bars of her
cell window, thinking about her imminent release. This provocative
picture tells a story . . . as does every picture." |
|
Nan says,
"Worried about sea sickness! No problem."Walter
says,
"One of the first things I learned as a young snapper at photoschool was
never to attempt to take photographs if you are feeling a little sea sick.
In the circumstances, Nan has captured an enduring, happy, lively image of
this lady, with good eye contact." |

Nan says,
"Dinner table: all present.
"Oops! Nan took the photo."Walter says,
"This is a triumph for Nan. It really is difficult to give a
breakfast table that je ne sais quoi look of the evening.
"Keep up the good work, though." |
