This was *my* highest rated. I love the humor involved.. and you sure have a penchant for green shirts. Nice job. You and I should have been #1 and #2. We can fight over which one later. Congrats on surving the DPC Popularity Contest :)
I like this shot a lot for its quirkiness but also the surprisingly good effect of the selective blur. It would think the blur would look artificial - but it really draws the focus to your eye and your expression in a pleasing way.
that's pretty cool...is that graussian blue or a lens baby? Either way, looks really neat. I hope you get a ribbon -- this is clearly the best I've seen thus far and I'm about 95% through all the photos. Your border works well with the photograph too! g'luck 10!
Composition: 6
Technical: 7
Appeal: 9, Your expression and pose made me chuckle.
Challenge: 8, Shot has strong character
Overall Calculated Average Score: 8, If I am correctly recognizing you, I really dug your 100 portraits in 100 days. The originality required for completing that project is admirable.
i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image as a guinnea pig as to what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.
what a killer expression! the lighting and focus are tops. not too keen on the colors, but, then again, this is an image that's all about you. i hate it when i'm wrong, but i have to guess lens-baby, as i know of nothing else to produce such a weird area of focus. well, whatever. this is a cool shot, and i hope it does well for you.
I think the green and grey combination works well for this photo. The pose is original. The blurring looks like PS work, and there is nothing wrong with that, but I wonder what it would have looked like just shot at F/1.8 or 2.8. Nice effect though and a good photo.
he he, cool. I assume the shallow DOF was done after-the-fact, but it's pretty convincing if you don't think too hard about it. nice and sharp on the stuff you meant to leave in focus. hilarious facial expression as well.
Great shot. This is a comical profile pic you can truely be proud of. I feel that you used the shallow DOF very well in this shot. The lighting is good and the pose is priceless. One of my top 3 pics of the challenge.
This is one of my favorites in the challenge! The image is quirky enough, but the title is like a cherry on top for the humor! It makes me laugh out loud! Your expression is great, and the shallow depth of field works well here (I usually don't like it this narrow for a portrait). Your lighting is perfect as well. Bumping this up to a 10. Good Luck. By the way, my first thought was that Clay Aiken was participating this week!
This is the first photo in this challenge that made me sit back and say "hey, that's really something neat." I love the DOF, choice of colors and your expression. A "10" from me.
Super - fantastic - great what more can one say - the colors bode perfectly - better than any other image I have seen on here for a few months even - focus is perfect and style is cool.
