I truly loved this image. As I read through the coments I saw where people said it had been done before. I think it is hard to do purely original photography. There is not much that hasn't been done. I look forward to trying to capture this image in my own way. As far as it placing 16th there have been many remakes of music that have topped the chart when performed by another artist. Thank you for the inspiration.
Simply excellent. How much more romantic can you get than Romeo and Juliet? THEN you add the heart with a few minutes of thought. It's the perfect image for the theme.
I would have never expected to see the word "fishified" in this challenge. The text and title are well chosen, but the execution of this shot is not as strong as the shots that it tries to mimic. A more well-defined shadow (and if possible, less blown-out text in the background) would make this a sure ribbon winner.
Even as currently shot, you probably could have adjusted curves to bring back a lot of the over-exposed areas and to increase the contrast in the shadows. Graphicfunk did a nice write-up on adjusting curves in this thread.
Act 2, Scene II would have a better choice where Romeo, in his famous soliloquy, enters and makes this declaration into the morning mists when, in her radient beauty, Juliet suddenly appears at her window...
"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."
The top of the text is blown and the uppermost part of the filter is outside the focal range. The idea is a classic (i.e. used alot but still good) and I like the clever use of the text and the centerness. Rotated square and with more carefull lighting would have helped a nice image score better
Been done to death so no points for originality. Frankly this isn´t very well done technically speaking either, the filter itself out of focus, the harsh lighting causing glare on top of it and also some bad glares on the pages towards the upper corners. Anyway, sorry but for an unoriginal shot that isn´t terribl well done technically I only give a 4. No offense meant of course. Also, I encourage you to keep at this, looking at images that have been done to death and then imitating them but then put your own little twist on them, just do something different and funky so don´t let my comment discourage you.
Nice take on this type of shot - I like the choice of book. The hot spot on the filter is distracting and also it would be better with a great dof so the filter was not so blurred.
