Hi Kieu-Hanh. I see a sharp, well-exposed image. Your subject is front and center with a balanced amount of background for context. Given that the image is sharp from front to back, would I be correct in assuming you used your iPhone for this one? Compositionally, I like where the man is placed but the framing almost cuts off the tray(?) he is holding. Also, there is what appears to be a part of a picture frame at the far left that is quite distracting. Lastly, I seem to be missing the action that the title implies. It appears he is simply holding a tray of glassware rather than "pouring" the cider.   Posted: 11/02/2024 16:41:57

You've got a great journalism photo here with excellent handling of the lighting. You chose just the right place to be so that we could easily see the process of pouring the cider. Sounds so good. Choosing to include the huge kegs was done so well to show us the huge kegs that hold the cider. I have no suggestions for improvement.   Posted: 11/06/2024 22:00:14

I just read Michael's comments and if you look closely you can see the stream of liquid from the keg through the air and into the glass. That's fabulous.   Posted: 11/06/2024 22:05:17

Kieu-Hanh, I'm so glad I read Joan's second comment. That stream of cider arching into the glass is fabulous! I didn't see it initially, but thought that the man was simply showing the glasses to the onlookers. I suggest that you consider lightening the stream of cider slightly, so it's more visible. That steam of cider makes the shot!   Posted: 11/07/2024 18:38:26

Kieu-Hanh, I agree that this is a great photojournalism image. I think Ruth's suggestion re the stream of cider will really enhance the image. I saw it but only after studying the photo carefully. Very well exposed and sharp.   Posted: 11/17/2024 20:09:59

Very nice shot capturing a very unique way of pouring cider directly from a keg. I agree with Michael the portion of the frame on the left is a bit distracting. But otherwise a good composition and capture.   Posted: 11/17/2024 20:33:49

Kieu-Hanh, the comments section from the September round is close, so I need to post this here this month. I was in Spain recently and saw this ad. At first I thought it was someone having fun with the Tourist Go Home protests.   Posted: 11/17/2024 20:54:11
