cant believe it dint get a top 3. maybe coz it turned out to be too simple.. simply a photo inside the press. if maybe u had digitilized it a lil.. it wudve been at the top
Lol! Nice idea Daniel, you never cease to amaze me what you can pull out of your hat withi these basic editing rules, my hat goes off to you and I wouldn´t be surprised to see this close to, or even on top of this challenge. Gave this an 8. However, I must make one slight comment about the contrast in the image, to me it seems a bit flat, perhaps a slight "s-curve" would improve this a little bit?
I don't think you're allowed to submit something like this, as I'm almost certain that you didn't pull it off in one shot. If you did, then wow. I'll give you the "8," (gullibly) assuming that this is a legitimate submission, but, you'll probably end up disqualified. (Also, if it is a composite of two images, the one of the "guy" doesn't really blend with the larger one.)
This is an impressive shot to do if it was done without spot editing (as the rules stipulate). Other than the questionable editing, I love the concept.
cool concept for a photo! i've felt like that many a time...
the image inside of the french press feels rough and two-dimensional in comparison to the rest of the photograph...i would be interested in seeing how this image would look with softer edges around the squishy guy, but i'm not sure how to approach that within the basic editing rules.
Ok I have been trying to figure out how you did this and I can't. I am sure there is some simple explanation but for the life of me I can't find it. Because the "model" or "prisoner" is in front of the metal I am at a loss. congrats I am sure this will be top ten if not ribbon. is it a photo cut out placed inside the press? I guess I will have to wait. Oh by the way 9
