I love your effort here but I'm not sure that the actual rock, paper, and scissors were necessary. Maybe if you could have shown their shadows under the appropriate hands.
Nice idea on the games. I like the use of black and white, I like the concept.
I'm not sure from an art stand point if you needed the literal representation of the rocks, scissors paper. If you were concerned about folks not getting it or if it was important to you.
I just imagine I would have liked this shot as one of my 10 best if the hands were the only element in the shot, just like they are arranged now..minus the literal elements. They are good hands, well maintained which is necessary for this kind of photo.
But thats me and you still have a nice photo none the less.
I saw this in thumbnail size and really thought it was cool....and seeing it larger just confirms it. I like the idea and I love the use of black and white with this.Very nice.
As early as 5000 B.C. the Egyptians played a form of bocce with polished rocks. Graphic representations of figures tossing a ball or polished stone have been recorded as early as 5200 B.C. While bocce today looks quite different from its early predecessors, the unbroken thread of bocce’s lineage is the consistently common objective of trying to come as close to a fixed target as possible.
This is an interesting concept and well done on deciding on something very different. I'm not sure I would have used the props - one arm of the scissors blocks almost all of a finger. Not sure I really like having the black space in the centre of the photo either
points for originality! Very creative, like the b&w, but perhaps a smaller rock would keep it looking like an unidentifiable object ( a little too dark to see it right away) or maybe it's the way it's cropped (?) good job, like it.
Interesting. A bit dark, especially against the white DPC background. The wrinkles and sloppy edge on the paper detract a little, and the scissors and hand are just out of focus range, but a great idea and well executed overall.
I was hoping someone would do this shot! You have done an excellent job with it as well. The contrast is maybe a little weak to suit me but I do like the black background quite a bit. = 9
This is a cool photo but I think having the hand and the paper is a little too much. I think there might be too much going on in this picture. Either all hands or all elements definitely would have been cool.
Cute, clever, creative idea. I thought of it also, but you've done it well. Maybe a bit too dark and the rock is a little lost here. Still it's a fun shot!
