Thanks so much for the comments, and especially the ones with suggestions (lighting and composition). I had some trouble taming the little slave flash behind my left leg, and I think I kicked it out of position while hobbling onto the set. Tough shot to do solo. The waistband at the back bugged me a little, too, but after thirty or so attempts (hop into the frame, adjust pants, drop change, trip shutter, hop behind camera to check composition) I'd had enough. Cheers!
great imagination!! This is one of my favorites. the only thing I wish wasn't there was the back of the pants between the feet, distracting. great photo.
If this is a rip-off of another poster then you only get an 8 but I am going to assume this is original and as such deserves a 10 and to win this week .
On of my 5 best shots this week and my favorite.
If there is one thing wrong with this photo I ant to hear about it cause I am missing it. Perfection.
The loose change is a perfect touch. A personal preference would be to make this just a touch more contrasty (in particular, the shadows a bit darker). The only real "flaw" I can see is relatively minor. The lighting on the right hand is stronger than on the left. (All I can see is white on the right, but I can see background on the left.)
Excellent idea! Excellent lighting... Excellent and unique concpet all the way around... nice job with the paper and curving the background out for effect :) = 10
Oh my gosh!! This is just too clever, creative, and wonderful for words. I love this. B&W, lighting, tone, composition. OH you really have done this well!!!! LOVE it.
