I'm going to do something I rarely do and ask for honest opinions on a photo. Looking at other Pink Floyd entries, I seem to have an unusually high amount of 1's. Can anyone tell me why? Is it the "man nipples" that were mentioned in 2 different comments? Is it the exposure? Is it too soft or too sharp? Is it the lyric (implied violence)? I thought I would get at least mid 5's on this and it started out high 5's and never stopped going down.
As a side note... I am quite happy with the photo, it came out pretty much as what I envisioned before hand. Thanks for your opinions, whatever they may be.
Saw 1's on a number of photos where the only thing I could think was that people didn't recognize the title and figured it was dnmc. Composition on this shot could use a little work. Maybe get his head lined up on a thirds intersection? Crop it more dramatically? Lighting could be more dramatic but I'm no expert there.
I didn't vote this image a 1, but can tell you my honest opinion of it, is that it looks like a snap shot from a crazy party. I have lots of those type shots in shoe boxes.
I really enjoyed your entry (9 from me) and although it is not dpc-shiny, I don't see glaring technical problems. It does however, look like you used a flash (even if you didn't) and there are a lot of knee-jerk flash-haters 'round these here parts. So either that... or perhaps the voters felt the subject was threatening them personally ;-) So, well, you know how the song goes... "Don't Worry... Be Happy... One of These Days I'm Going to Cut You into Little Pieces..."
I did use fill flash. We were outside at night with me laying on the ground on a small hill in our front yard with him standing over me. The main lighting came from a streetlight. I'm just glad a cop didn't cruise by at that moment because it wouldn't have been fun trying to explain.
