This month we ask our community to share experiences that inspire profound and positive emotions, prioritizing health and personal connections to help the audience cope with difficulties and feel happier about their lives.
Header image from SeventyFour.
Keywords: dog, child, play, technology, digital. This is a good selection of keywords. Because of the topic, maybe adding "Artificial Intelligence", "Robot", and others such as "pet" could work well too.
This is a good image, that can be used to tell different stories, and very on trend: we can go about AI, robots and more science fiction uses. But also about education, learning about programming and coding, and even talking about human/synthetic relationships.
From a technical point of view, I would have preferred a wider depth of field, since the kid's focus is a bit too soft. Also, the background is kind of distracting, since it is almost empty, except for the furniture on the right side.
Keywords:Northern lights, Aurora Borealis, Pole Light, color, sky. Those keywords are OK; however, since one of the interesting things about this image is where it was captured -because of how unusual it is to see the Northern lights there-, I would also add the location (but not on the top ten).
This image moves away from Milou's usual style and topics, but it works perfectly for this "Wonder and Joy" creative challenge since it is very rare to see Northern lights in continental Europe. I am missing a bit more of contextual information, but I like that at least those elements like the branches on the upper part of the image ,give a different feel to the image if we compare them with other Aurora Borealis images from Adobe Stock, that usually present more northern elements such as fir trees or rocky snowy landscapes.
Keywords: teenage girl, e-study, gen Z, bedroom, remote study. I like the Gen Z keyword there. However, I would split "teenage girl" into two different keywords. And the e-study concept is unclear, since there are no tech devices -except the headphones. Also, "remote study" doesn't work for me, since studying is usually a bedroom or a library, and the "remote" keyword would work for classes.
One of the things about the Wonder and Joy Creative Challenge was finding inspiration and joy in small, everyday moments. And that's what we have here from AnnaStills. It may feel a bit staged (this image requires a lot of property releases as is, but if it was an actual teenager room it would be a nightmare of IP issues!), but it works!
Really good use of the chromatic pallete, with blue and pink as dominating colors, but in different shades and intensities. The room has the right amount of messiness not to feel chaotic, but authentic, and the composition helps us focus on the girl, and what she's doing. This image has a lot of commercial value for its authenticity and the stories it can be used for (homework, adolescence, relaxing, developing creative skills, not using electronic devices such as phone or tablets, etc.).
Keywords:surfing, excitement, sunset, wave, woman. Good use of keywords! You described the image, the actions and emotions.
This is a nice image, but I'm kind of worried for the photographer! I would like to know how this image was shot, since it doesn't look like a telephoto lens.
The color balance, with those warm sunset tones, makes this image inviting and makes the excitement of the action enjoyable for everyone. The model is undoubtedly having a great time, and she shares that fun. The framing allows for a vertical crop, making the image great for social media and leaving room for customer copyspace. Great work!
Keywords:Dog, Park, Playing, Chase, Happy. I may change "park" for "nature" here, but keywords are ok. There are also lots of different emotions that should be included as keywords, such as "excitement", "fun", "thrill"...
I love the pure energy those two dogs share with their playfulness. The image is good, with a natural color palette that feels warm and helps convey the energy of the animals. This image could be used in lots of different situations for the dog/animal care market: from insurance, to vet services, to food or even products to prevent ticks or other parasites. And the composition helps customers inserting texts or logos on the darker, lower part of the picture.
Keywords: hen party, pajama party, pizza, girls, friendship. Nice selection of keywords here. Even though I am not very fond of compound keywords, I believe that both "hen party" -first time I heard this!- and "pajama party" are good choices.
Great image! I believe that the composition, leaving half of the girls out on the left, is a bit risky, but it works for me since it gives the impression that there is more happening than we can see. Also, it gives the image a more natural, not staged feel, which works great. Another warm palette, making the image extra cozy. My only issue is with the lightning, since it looks like is the middle of the day, so it doesn't make much sense for a pajama party. However, for embracing sisterhood and friendship, it is a nice picture.
Keywords:joshua tree national park, man, road, sunset, perspective. I may reduce the first keyword to just "joshua tree" and then "national park" as different keywords, and then as a unique four words keyword. My guess is that customers will search for "joshua tree" more often than "joshua tree national park".
Classic and powerful leading lines to our subject, with a very symmetrical and balanced composition. The use of color, though, is what made this image stand out for me, with those purple tones in both the asphalt and sky that gives a surreal feel to the image. This makes the scene seem out of this world and wonderous.
Keywords: farmer, woman, goatling, animal, love. Nothing to add to those keywords! Good selection.
This image is so cute! The baby goat is a cutie, and the joyful expression of the woman is so genuine! I like the overall look of the image, with a good film emulation and a great color treatment which makes the image a bit more authentic for the nostalgia of film photos, bringing us to simpler times.
I would have liked a bit more room on the framing, leaving some space for copy, but it is a very nice image that shares joy and happiness, which are very positive and demanded emotions from our customers.
Keywords: happy, women, joking, blue, tongues. I would have add "lollipop" or "candy" as one of the top keywords here
I like how natural this image is; it feels like a candid shot and not something staged. The framing is a bit too tight, but it adds to the overall feeling of a more authentic image shot of a group of friends. Again, we find a warm palette, enhancing the joy and playfulness of the image and making the blue tongues and piruletas pop out more.
Keywords: horse, hobby, ride, Black woman, happiness. Nothing ot add here, good keywords.
The expression of happiness and excitement on the woman's face made me think she was a child, just because that's when we can find those feelings of pure wonder more commonly. I rather see a slightly wider vertical shot, so we can also see the horse's head, and I wouldn't frame the subject centered; by having her on the left side you will have some room for copy, being a more useful image for our customers.
And our favorite image for the #WonderandJoy Creative Challenge is:
