Hi Christoph.
This is a really creative entry and the setup an cropping is working good in this case... What you could maby have done better is...
Clean the CD and have the focus on him. Like you can see, the CD is not too focused and littel dirty (spots on it). Than you should have tried to do it in WB (whitebalance (filter)) I think the snow would become whiter if you would have done that....
I wonder if you used flash?
Nice take on the challenge... You just have to keep on and on...
Thats how you learn;)
Heard you got 5,8 in the momment for your entry in surrealism!!
That is a very good grade!!! Some peopel here never got that high!!!
Good luck... asij
I really like the reflection of light on the snow. The only thing I think would have been better would be to not show the cd at all. But then it may have been too plain. Overall, I like what you've done.
I think a smaller aperture would have helped control the glare on the CD. Also, I'd have left a little more of the picture to the left of the CD and there seems to be some noise in the picture that's distracting.
