I agree with digitalknight. This is a damn cool photo. THe dressy attire definitly gives it that American 50's feel to it. And the flying grass blades are just perfect.
I still love it - I wondered if anybody else would see it. I guess that's art for you - some love some hate. This has that classic slice of americana feel to it that I think will endure. Don't put it away, give it a little digital love and put it proudly on a wall. The world will come around to it! (bold statement for a guy with no ribbons, no?) :)
I like this photo, but I recomend trying to fill in the foreground with some light, a good speed flash or two off of some reflectors would do the trick. This would give you a less contrasty exposure, and you'd be able to have detail in the sky. But then again, if this is the look your after, thats cool too!
For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge – we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have. (having said all of that this title works and makes sense outside of the challenge - I like it) - its a little hot in the background but nice capture. 6 - no downgrade.
this is great, I love the concept, but there is too much information. If you had just the tire of the mower over to the back of his heel in the shot, then all the distractions of the background and foreground are gone, the angle of the foot is so cool, the fact that it's a dress shoe, and the grass flying - it has so much going for it - and so much to distract. So do this all again at a different time of day, and I'll give you your 10! Really nice work - great eye 7
