how do you critique a photograph?

on a loose leaf let's practice... due as exit slip

1. What is the subject? which art element does it convey?

2. How is it lit? what type of light do you see?

3. Where is the subject placed in the picture? what composition do you see?

4. How would you set the camera up for a similar shot?

5. What is the message you get from looking at the picture?
