Thanks to everyone who voted. I am actually disappointed with how this turned out. I did it VERY last minute. It would have been a lot better if I would have had more time to correctly and evenly clone out the wires holding the stuff above my head. I had this idea for the challenge and really wanted to try it (my inspiration was a pic I saw on here of a guy with fruit or something on a string above his head). Next time I will take more time to clone out the wires and not wait until 5 minutes before the submission deadline! Thanks again, Jordan
Since this is the "Dreams" challenge, the person sleeping seems kind of unnecessary. The props suggest what the content of your dreams may be, but I think that even in isolation any of them might have been used to create a much stronger, more visceral feeling for what law enforcement entails than the caricature that the unembellished accessories give me. Letting your audience's imaginations fill in the juicy details is a good thing, but expecting them to also write the screenplay for you is expecting a bit too much.
interesting concept for theme, please tell me that your elements are manufactured during the taking of this pix, and not in post. I'd hate to see this DQ.
Nice idea, whites impure, blacks good, nice lighting, great effects
