Name: Obaid Hassan Al-Louz / Dubai - UAE
Membership number: 318.
Age: 30 years.
Occupation: employee.
Equipment: Camera (Minolta XD7)

- Friend Obaid:
Your images may be acceptable from the normal binoculars.
But from an artistic and technical point of view, it remains for you to reconsider the process of capture, especially the process of composing the scene and containing it, as your pictures seemed either slanted or fragmented, and this matter destroys the collective perspective in your pictures.
We advise you to read our previous numbers ⏹

Name: Ali Al-Sanad / Kuwait - State of Kuwait
Membership number: 319.
Age: 33 years.
Occupation: employee.
Equipment Camera ( Chinon CES )

Ali's friend:
There is nothing wrong with what I have mentioned, but it remains for you to explore more about the aesthetics of the scene and the extent of its effect on the view. Although your composition is good, there are some harmful distortions to the photographic beauty, such as the image of the animal prominent to the right of the scene, as it is in a strong focal point and it might be a wonderful shot had it not been for what distorts the image. And I mean the wires.
Likewise, the scene of the lake and the ducks. Don't you see with me that the composition of the frame is good, but the purpose of it is not clear, so your picture is vague and does not express anything⏹

Membership number: 203.
Age: 21 years.
Profession: student.
Equipment: Konica camera.

- Friend Kamal:
The image of observing the sunset is really a beautiful image with its location and colors, and the rest of your work is supposed to come to this level. Your other works are dominated by stagnation and lack of sensuality.. Rather, they are very ordinary images compared to the sunset image⏹

Name: Mohamed Abdullah Sayed Khalifa / Cairo - Egypt.
Membership number: 321.
Age: 32 years.
Profession: Surgeon.
Equipment: a camera (Chinon-CE4) and a camera. (Chinon-Cp7M)

- Friend Muhammad:
You have the technical and artistic qualifications to advance far in this art, especially since your concept seemed clear through the process of capturing and composing the scene. We expect higher-level work from you, especially since you have the qualifications⏹

Name: Ishaq Mohammed Ismail / Bahrain.
Membership number: 322.
Age: 30 years.
Occupation: Employee - Bahrain Airport Services. Equipment: Canon-AE1 camera.

Friend Isaac:
Your photos are beautiful, especially the sunset shots that were balanced and beautiful in color, as well as the face shot of the camel, which is really beautiful. The bottom line is that you have the ability to capture and look with the sense of an artist. Greetings to you ⏹

Name: Ghassan Al-Khalaf / Damascus - Syria
Membership number: 332.
Age: 27 years.
Occupation: employee.
Equipment: Camera (Minolta-X700).

- Friend Ghassan:
You are trying to adjust your framework by emphasizing and highlighting, and this is a necessary feature for success in work. “Portrait, the old woman, you are successful with it.” As for “portrait, the second one was lost with the large and unnecessary space for the scene, and it could have canceled the space on the left, which, as you notice, is a weak point.
The other scenes are okay⏹

Name: Marwan Homsi / Damascus - Syria.
Membership No.: 286 - Issue No. 53.
Age: 38 years.
Occupation: silk screen printing.
Equipment: Camera (Canon - T80) with a black and white lab.

Friend Marwan:
The results here are better than last time and it seems that you have worked on studying your topic more carefully. You have a problem printing black and white, because the paper used for printing lacks balance and color gradation between black, gray and white, so your pictures came without details, and most likely the paper used may have expired. We ask you to make more effort and we are confident that you can reach higher ranks ⏹

Name: Awwad Mohammed Al-Hamdan / Doha - Qatar. Membership No.: 257 - Issue No. 45.
Age: 29 years.
Profession: employee
Equipment: (Minolta-XGM) camera.

- Friend Awad:
Your photos here are more thoughtful than last time, especially in the field of distributing the scene within the frame and moving the scene by using trees and internal frames. Good progress.
With our best wishes
