critique:
This photo was compiled to share the feeling of relaxation inside a traditional Korean-style bathhouse located in Lakewood, Washington. It's a place where, in a tradition spanning centuries and the globe, evolving from times when few families had their own private bath, women all kinds of women soak, scrub, steam and unwind. Black-and-white infrared film was used. An opaque red filter over the electronic flash rendered it invisible to the bathers. Pools of water absorbed the infrared radiation, appearing darker in print. Areas below the skin reflected infrared radiation, sometimes making veins more apparent. you can tell that tis photograph is a short depth of field because in the photo the only thing tht is in focus is the water. By looking at the water it is almost like leading lines directing your eyes down the photo while in the background you can see a woman but the imag is not in focus.

i. Yes, the headline is descriptive of the contents.
ii. Yes, the link takes you directly to the picture.
iii. Yes, the photo includes credit information.
iv. Yes, there is a caption.
v. The comment talks about the gerneral message. Also the comment talks about the focus and leading lines, but fails to talk about the any of the 3 rules of the composition and has a couple of spelling errors.
Good job. I'm stumped about why your email posted the photo, and I can't get mine to do this. There is no headline "photo blog" should be "Artful Bathing"
Good critique- especially last part that you actually wrote. The pasted information is interesting, but make sure nobody thinks it is yours.
Sorry- Grade 95
