Hmmm not to many liked the background - and yes it may have given it more punch with a solid background - can't say I liked the colour, but not many noticed not only the different transportation icons but the splotches that if you put paint or ink on something spinning like that - you'd get splatter similar to the blobs behind the globe. It's a tough crowd out there.
This shot just screams for a different background. With a less busy backdrop this is a 10. as is, I love the motion in this shot. It is also nicely metaphorical for the motion of our world as it spins by. One of my favorites this challenge. 8
Great idea and the globe looks good, but I don't understand the background at all, it looks like a blanket. Would be much more effective with a solid colored background
How incredibly interesting and such a simple idea as well as being a pretty good photo. The spinning globe is quite clear. Interesting background given the images of transportation. Would have like a bit more variety regarding tint.8
Great idea.. I don't know what kind of camera you're using, but If you have a hotshoe on the thing, I'd certainly try and invest in a bounceable flash, or try and find a good diffusion method.. (stretched shirt, tissues, nylon, whatever).. as those two hotspots really glare out. Of course.. had you found a way to add a *mouth* too... and sell the "eyes" effect..
Not a bad idea but what is that background all about? It's very distracting and is in better focus than the spinning globe. Perhaps a slow sync flash here could have stopped the motion of the globe while keeping the motion blur. That focus would have helped draw the eye back to the globe that should be the main subject of the image. Also, if the pattern on the backdrop is meant to be symbolic then perhaps use some negative space around the globe to really make that aparrent. Finally there is a brown/yellow tint to the image that is most aparrent in the whiter areas of the backdrop. This shot is a really good idea that needs just a little work in my view. 7
