I was just browsing through old challenges and came across this shot, creative idea that gave me a chuckle, had to make a comment. Love the way they are looking into the water!
This is so funny. The setup on the peeps looking into the water is great. Beautiful focus. Love the reflections. Colors are good. 13th place , you were definitely robbed on this one.
Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is so cute and imaginative. You came up with an original idea and followed through well.
Technically your lighting and exposure are good, and any shadows visible, serve to show dimension. Color saturation is fine, without being oversaturated.
Composition works quite well, showing the full reflection of the candy in the water.
The way you've cropped cuts off a bit of the subjects, but i think that is an asset in this image because it gives the impression that there may be many more of these bunnies.
Overall this is a really good picture.
Regards,
i gave you an '8' because while i thought the photo was just okay, it was such an original idea, met the challenge well, and i loved it - i'm so glad it did well. congrats!
ps - i guess my main complaint about the photo would be the shadow on one of the (leaning) bunnys and also even though i can see the water line is straight the bunnies seem to be at an off angle (one of those things that you only see later and don't want to bother to go out and re-shoot to fix ;-)
Finally, more people with a sense of humor! For the sake of "historical accuracy" I'd have tried lopping off their ears and replacing it with a red top-knot (marshmallow, jelly bean?). Or at least droop them so they look like the tribe of "Long-Ears."
Funny! The tones you have here create a mood for me that says these bunnies are in dire straights. Or maybe it's the expressions on their faces. The reflection is interesting, but I can't see that it serves a purpose in this photo besides adding interest. I'd much rather consider the plight of the bunnies.
Really cute idea! Remind me to not eat the bunnies at your house! Very clear, colorful picture. (You got telephone wires in the reflection, damn wires!) 8 Rob the Swash
A good idea combined with a very funny title and photo results in a superb picture. Only the exposure could be better. It's a pity I can't vote for you.
