I know there are no shortage of those around here....LOL. Seriously, I'm working on my portfolio for my class final (50% of the grade!) and I've selected 9 of the 10 required photographs. Now I'm down to the last one and I'm having a hard time. Would you kindly take a look and vote for your favorite? Thanks so much for your time.

Thinking out loud: For me, it's between the bikes and the jars. I would have preferred a tighter shot and/or a crop of some of the cabinet plus some color enhancement as the jars contain quite a bit of color that your now missing.

Definitely not the dragon nor the last.

What's the class level?

It’s an advanced college photography course focusing on color and light.

As an aside, I wonder whether your instructor has or would give you, an operational definition of EXACTLY what is being evaluated for your grade. Images are subjective....as evidenced by the varying opinions given here. I find each of your images pleasing....but for different reasons. If there is no "metric" being applied to evaluate your work....I would suggest this is simply malpractice....as is quite typical amongst University professors. As a professor, I would be much more interested in hosting a round-table open discussion of each image (by each student)....and I would listen more to the quality of critical thinking (articulation, communication, depth/breadth) going on between each participant, than to the quality of the images themselves.

A better learning tool might be to have been given a well-developed rubric....showing the different levels of "goodness" and WHY (clearly defined and with measurable criteria). IMHO, too often an instructor says, "go off and do good things" without ever CLEARLY defining what a good thing looks (acts, smells, tastes, or feels) like. This happens in schools, at all levels, across the country....every single day. That's no way to teach and it certainly is no way to learn!

Only a well-defined standard can be measured. PS: Don't tell your instructor any of this or you will reap the wrath of the "full professor" with tenure.
