Holi 2013
Constructive Criticism/Suggestions are always welcome
---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
Holi, The Festival of Colors presents a wonderful opportunity for art teachers to use bright colors in their art lessons. Colored powders can be created to create powder paintings (similar to sand paintings). Paintings can be created to illustrate the history of the Indian holiday.
The Festival of Colours, (also called Holaka, Phagwa, Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi) is a popular Hindu spring festival observed around the world. Holi is a time when humans and nature shake off the gloom of winter and rejoice in the colors of spring. The holiday is primarily observed in India, Nepal, and countries with large Hindu populations such as Suriname, Guyana, Fiji, Mauritius and Trinidad. In West Bengal of India and Bangladesh, it is known as Dolyatra (Doljatra) or Boshonto Utsav. The annual festival is celebrated on the day of the full moon in the Hindu month of Phalguna. That month is March in the anglo calendar. In 2009 Holi was celebrated on March 11. In 2010 it will be celebrated February 28. The most important day, Holi, is celebrated by Hindus throwing colored powder and colored water at each other. The Holika Dahan (or Chhoti Holi) is celebrated by lighting bonfires.

Hey Everyone! Welcome to the Team 1 Results for Theme Zero: Alfea Party! Originally for scoring, ShiningStella and I planned on each giving a score out of 15 and then taking the averages of the scores. To avoid decimal scores, we decided to each give contestant a score out of 15 points, and combine those two scores for an amount of points out of 30! And.. here are the reviews from each of us and results! Remember, this round is for practice ONLY! These scores will not be added to your teams total points! Please don't be offended by any constructive criticism or critiques, we are judges after all! And we're trying to help you guys improve each round!

winxeric97: First of all, I love Gali’s outfit! It looks super fun and creative and Gali is definitely ready for a night of dancing and having fun with her friends! The boots and straight hair really help to pull the outfit all together. It’s truly the highlight of this photo!
Despite, Gali’s gorgeous outfit, I think there are some things to improve on. The photo itself just looks kinda dark and gloomy. I don’t think the filter helps makes to make it look like a fun and hip party. Bloom and Stella’s poses could be a bit more exciting, they’re very fixed and motionless. I know Jakks basic dolls don’t have much possibility, but I think they could have a bit more exciting poses. Also, try to brush the hair and get rid of flyaway strands before taking a picture, it makes a huge difference to neaten things up!
-2 points for late
Score: 6/15
Shining Stella: I really liked the outfit you put together for your girl, it's perfect! Her pose is very cute too. And like I mentioned previously, her hair is downright gorgeous!
I would've liked to see more from the other aspects of the photo, though; while Gali herself looks gorgeous, the background doesn't add much to the photo, and the other two girl's poses seem a little static. Maybe you could try using a brighter color or a set for the background of your next photo!

winxeric97: I like Chelsey’s outfit and how it matches with Flora and Stella’s! It’s creative how you used different pieces of fabric to put the outfits together. The poses are nice and make it look like the girls are having a great time dancing!
The outfit creativity is nice, but there are some things to improve on. I think the image could have been photo-shopped a bit more neatly. The borders around the girls are pretty noticeable. Also the hair on the dolls looks a little matted and like it needs a wash. Just neaten some things up and you’ll do better next round :)
Score 5/15
ShiningStella: I really liked how all three girls in your photo are wearing matching outfits, that's so cute! Their poses are really fun too.
The background of your photo is edited very nicely as well; but it doesn't add much to the scene. Maybe you could try a nighttime background next time, or one with more fairies.
Score: 7/15

winxeric97: I think Ginger looks very nice in the outfit you out together for her. It’s hip and fun and fits the theme! Very creative!
There are some things to improve on though. I think you could have given the other dolls some more fun poses. The two Ever After High girls look a little bored to me, while Ginger looks like she’s having fun. I think the blackness of the background is a little depressing. There are ways to make a dark background fun, but I felt like it was just too dark. Work on a more appealing background and better posing!
Score: 7/15
ShiningStella: Ginger's outfit is too cute, I love everything about it, all the pieces match perfectly! Her pose is really fun too, she looks super cute.
Cupid and Blondie look nice, but I think next time you should try adding a few more partygoers or props, that way it seems like there's more going on. I also could spot some stuff that didn't get covered by the background on Blondie's side, and that was a little distracting. You could try taking the photo at another angle next time, and that could fix that problem.
Score: 8/15

winxeric97: Mirta looks very pretty in the outfit you have her! I like the outfit choices and how you arranged the scene. I also like how you incorporated some other Winx dolls and Monster High. Everyone looks like they belong and are having fun.
Although the picture is nice, I can’t help but feel like it needs something more. It’s a bit bland with all the white in the background. You could easily add some pizazz to a background with some colored paper or random props. That’s really all you need, nothing fancy!
Score: 9/15
ShiningStella: I love Mirta's dress, it's really compliments her! Everyone in the photo looks like they're having so much fun, and I like how your eyes go straight to Mirta.
Next time, I hope you try changing the background or using some props. You don't need anything fancy; colored paper works well for backgrounds. Just try and find something to use, I'm sure it'll help liven things up!
Score: 8/15

winxeric97: With this photo, I really like what’s going on in the background. I really love Musa, Tecna, Flora, and Aisha’s party dresses. They’re pretty, but not formal, which I think fits the theme very well. I love all of the extra jewelry and accessories you gave the background girls, I think it adds a lot to the photo.
When you compare the photo to the theme description, I feel that Dolce and Bloom look a little to dressed up and formal for my tastes. They’re pretty, but too formal. I like the overall atmosphere of the photo, but I feel like Dolce and Bloom in the front are too blurry. The blurriness in the background is fine, but I think the subjects are too blurry.
Score: 10/15
ShiningStella: Dolce and Bloom look really cute together! Her dress really is perfect for her, I love the pastel color and flowers. And their hairstyles are adorable. I think the lighting really works, it gives it a nice feeling.
Your photo was kinda blurry, maybe next time you could try and fix that, because it was a little distracting.
Score: 10/15

Veni Vidi Dolli:

winxeric97: First of all, I’m very impressed with this photo! It’s one of my favorites in the whole Theme Zero! I love what you did with Roxy, having her volunteer for the refreshments committee for the party! Roxy’s outfit and serving tray with drinks add a lot of fun elements to the photo. I also like the mass amount of people at the party, it looks packed and like everyone is having a great time at Alfea! I like the clean and neat white and turquoise glitter wall backgrounds. Well done!
I don’t see any major faults with this photo, but not exactly a 15. Awesome job!
Score: 14/15
ShiningStella: I love how you have Roxy as the waitress, that's a perfect idea! Her outfit is lovely too, it really compliments her. The prospective students were really fun, too.
I would've liked it if the prospective students were a little more dressed up, it was kinda unclear how formal it was supposed to be because of that. Like, I didn't get a "hip and fun" vibe from their outfits.
Score: 12/15

winxeric97: Your photo is GREAT! Very fun and energetic! The fireworks really suck you right into the photo and make you wish you were there. I love the outfit choices and Tecna and the girls seem to be having a great time. Beautifully edited and great job using your props! An amazing submission for this theme!
I don’t really see anything that I feel should have been done differently. But not exactly a 15. Great job!
Score: 14/15
ShiningStella: Your photo is so fun! I love the firework background, it makes the whole photo more exciting. Your girls' outfits are great too, they're perfect for the occasion. I love how you have them standing on a platform, and took the photo at an angle.
It might've been a little more exciting if you'd had added a few more girls partying in the back, but at the same time, the way you presented these three really makes it seem special, which pretty much takes away the need for more girls.
Score: 14/15

This chipmunk was picking up large semi-composed leaves and scrunching them up into his mouth. Once he had enough, he'd skitter off (presumably to his burrow) then come back for more. It was so fascinating! More pics of him at instagram/amboire

When I should have been home watching the Mavericks game or doing some much-needed writing, I was instead out following my buddy Chris around downtown Dallas as he shot night video of the city.
Here we encountered the surreal juxtapositioning of a construction crew working in front of the Nieman Marcus display windows. I'd love to hear what the one girl is whispering to the other.
This image is a composite of two exposures; one exposed for the display windows, the other exposed for the rest of the scene.
Constructive criticism required.
Are polybags a good choice for the liquid-look? How does the vomiting action look like? Is the facial expression good?
