Hi David, Scott here from the CC. I had a good look over all your work submitted so far and over all I like it.. Your Blow submission is by far my favorite...awesome lighting (still my downfall) and very appealing all around. I think that some of the comments about DOF and subject focus were correct but I dont thing the pic would have worked as nice with the changed to the Grains/Powder. Tough call when trying to guess what voters will like. BEST advice I can give take comments and just try to see how others are feeling about your work. The overall perception. Dont let the narrow minded thinkers get to you, and if you like the pic and you took it for you then dont worry about the others. If your trying to please the masses then thats a differnet story. I take pics for me and me alone. If it feels good then keep clickn.
the pic is good...i would have given it a little more dof, but im not sure what limitations you have with your camera. i just think the subject material isn't so great because there's younger photographers on this website that might be...uh...inspired by this picture =/. the pic is good though, i'll give it an 8, how about that :)
there are small children on this site...were you even thinking??
edit:
well, i am coming back around for a second look at my votes and stuff, and even though i still think this shot is sort of "inappropriate" i guess, it's still a good shot...so i'm bumping it up.
While this is a really nice photo--the contrast, the subject insinuated, the angle, the composition, etc.--the focus is not too close on the "granular" substance. It is a good image, just a little bit off focus of the challenge. Deserves an 8.
If the focus were on the blow this would work better for me. Right now having focus on the bill doesn't create a lot of interest for me. You've got a lot of good texture in the powder - would be cool to see it.
