Thank you for entering the amusements competition and fully reading the brief. I like that as well as the universal game of the money drop game you have included some human subjects and caught some of the intensity these games create.

Thank you for entering the amusements competition and being on brief. I like the brightness of the image along with the leading lines of machines and seats. It's as if they are waiting for their customers. You have caught the garishness of the seaside amusements including the retro feel carpet

Thank you for entering the Arcades competition and being totally on brief. I like this close up right into the tunnel as if we are in the machine, It's bright and technically good as it appears sharp. every time I look I see another element including the reflection of the gamer.

Thank you for entering the amusements competition and fully reading the brief. I like that you have zoomed in on the figure in the machine and caught the facial expression instead of showing the whole thing. It's as if we are sitting across the table from the fortune teller and about to be part of the film big.

Thank you for entering the amusements competition and for reading the full brief. I like the feel of being in the machine and the feel of expectation as the 10ps hang over the edge waiting to fall. I like the focus on the money with the old and new 10ps

Thank you for entering the arcades competition. Ii chose this as

  1. I am a sucker for a black and white
  2. It is a stark contrast to the bright noisy garish entries.
  3. It's an image showing some depth and tells a story.
  4. It's totally on brief.

I would like to see photos of amusement arcades and places where games are played on coin-operated machines. Photos can be in colour to show the brightness of these places or they can be in black and white to give a different feel. You can include the customers playing on the machines but that is not essential. Think about maybe capturing some movement, or close ups of some of the features of the coin-operated games machines.

Thank you for entering the arcades competition and being on brief. I like the time warp feel to this given by using the zoom burst technique. It gives a feeling of the confusion the lights and noise can give in the large arcades.
