This is a sequel to my Authority challenge shot, where the girls get revenge! Thanks so much to my models especially the nun (believe it or not this is my mother-in-law) it was very hot and I'm sure at little bit uncomfortable. Please be advised that no one was hurt during the making of this shot, although I know my young models were quite embarrassed about having to pose like this beside a busy highway. The looks from the cars passing us was worth all the trouble for the setup. Nonetheless, we all had great fun taking this shot. I like it and hope it does well. Check out the original shot in the Authority challenge called " We just found them here Sister, honest"

Photographically this isof good quality and composition.
I know it is meant in humor, but just a bit to "tacky" for my tase.
(took nothing off due to my own preferences though)
very nice, good setup and all the factors are there, but for one tiny nag: what leading lines? The only strong leading lines in this photo are the tracks and they are more or less blocked by the girls. To make them a more important part I'd position the girls further away, walking away, on the left track, or to the left of the track, just well enough in focus so you can see what they are and what they are doing. Icing on the cake woud be a train coming around a bend in the tracks.
I really like this photo, but don't see it fitting well enough into the challenge.
You probably already got a lot of comments of this kind, and I predict a 5.5-6 score and quite a few favs. Good luck.
Not your everyday leading lines shot :) I guess your a pro photographer as not many would go to these lenghts for a challenge. I wanna know what lens this is as it`s very sharp. For the challenge it may be better without the girls as they are blocking the view of the tracks. Very good 9.
very creative ......haha! There are lots of lines and your model is great. I am giving you a 10 for the leading lines of all sorts and your imagination
definitely catholic schoolgirls, but I don't think they're used to being bad, or at least not used to smoking. They're both holding their cigarettes in the middle. No one who actually had ever smoked would hold a cigarette like that.
My grandma would shoot me if I ever asked her to do something like this. Love the set up. As for the leading lines I think a little further from the shot would have been great so the lines of the tracks would have lead to the final subjects. (7)
People are always complaining in the forums that they get no comments from voters who give them low scores. So, here goes. I'm afraid I gave this a 4, because it has nothing to do with leading lines. To me, the presence of the rail tracks is not enough, they've got to actually lead the viewer somewhere, & these don't. I suppose you could also say the girls' legs are leading lines, but that would be a stretch (excuse the pun). That actual photograph is technically competent, which is why I'm risking your wrath by explaining my low score. Sorry!
OMG! Great setup. Funny. Schoolgirls with tennis shoes. Whites look a little blown. Nice direction with the hands. Good job at getting everyone in focus.
I think this misses the point of the challenge. The lines here lead nowhere. Humorous image. As a product of a parochial education, I can resonate with the sentiment. I especially like the shoes juxtaposed with the uniforms! The image had an emotional payload for me. Points for humor and creativity. Deduct points for not meeting the spirit of the challenge.
Well, I'm a Methodist, but I still understand this photo. Lots of lines to see and be led by, which is a good thing. Killing nuns...ehh...that's questionable, since from what I understand, blood is really hard to get off of train wheels. You do good work, and I'll give you a 3 for each person in the photo.
Cute, but I don't see how this works for 'Leading Lines'. As for this image, I like the composition where you can't see the girls' faces. The time of day this was taken makes for some harsh lighting - the white shirts seem a bit overexposed. I'm sure you had fun with this...good luck in the challenge.
I truly love what you did here. You have a great imagination, and wit, but for the challenge, I am stumped.
Comp excellent, talent blocking great, story telling excellent, b&W's great, good motion, lines are there, but not leading IMO. Overall this is a great thing youv'e done, but not for this challenge.
funny shot. the cigarettes aren't lit though, and for the imagery to fully work, I think that's a detail that needed to have been taken care of. the playfullness of the story is there, the shoes on the girls are great details. the dof is very nice as well. 7
This is very mean and maybe a little over the top, but the sharpness is wonderful and the focus & DOF are excellent. I don't mind that the white shirts are overexposed. Good contrast.
How FUNNY!!!!!!!!!! What great models!!!! I love it that you have cropped off the girls at the waist. It really enhances the "oomph" of this photo. I love this.
nice expression on the nun....perhaps that's real pain. I'm trying to conceive a way to get my gma to lie on the train tracks for a photo op....ummmm nope, can't seem to do it. As far as leading into the pic, I'm guessing, placing the girls further down the line just lost the point.
