i like how you focused on the kid and not the calculator, but the buttons are still a bit bright. definitely one of the best shots ive seen since DUCKIE CHUCKIE
I love the expression on his face. He makes it looks totally spontaneous. However, the blurriness of the calculator, and the clarity of the boy seems to make me focus more on him than the message. Did you use a flash? If so, could you have cut it off? That may have kept the white keys from washing out.
This is my top choice so far. The toothy smile and sharp focus of the model - versus the day-glo blue and pink - out of focus "cheesy" calculator - along with the classic use of Upside Down numbers make this a great photo.
I would prefer a greater depth of field so that the calculator is in focus as well or focus on the calculator, since it is the upside down object. I like the idea very much.
You must be getting slammed on the white balance in the background, the fact that the flash overexposed the calculator, and the fact that the calculator isn't in focus.
Love the subject matter- great idea!!! The green hues from the flourescent lights are no fun, I know how difficult they can be to overcome, though. The thumb in front of his forehead moved a bit would be nice. And I'm thinking the focus on the calculator, throwing the man out-of-focus might have been more appropriate?
Oh, I really really like this idea. Love the expression on the person's face too. It would be perfection if it was a little more in focus. I remember doing this. You can also write "BOOBLESS" and "BOOBS" if you want! :)
Its a good picture that needs a little bit of work. First of all I'd start by focusing on the calculator since you have the "hello" message there and the topic is upside down, this is your subject afterall. The next thing would be to get out of wherever you were and put your model and the subject in a differnt enviornment that isn't so distracting. The background at the right side of the picture detracts from the picture.
This is a great shot! I love it... The grin on the face is just awesome... i would like to have seen a little more focus on the calculator, and I'm glad you chose HELLO instead of BOOB, BOOBIE, or BOOBLESS!!! Good Job!
Such a snapshot, but the picture just makes you smile. The idea, brilliant, the model looks like he's laughin, which in turn made me giggle a bit myself. As for technicalities, a larger f-stop to get the calculate and model in focus.
this picture is incredible! what imagination! your choice of a model with tremendous character is great. i also like the way you filled the foreground with the calculator.
