Ok, so I know that this photo had some mixed reviews, but I really appreciate all the comments, good and bad. What I found funny is that everyone seemed to be at opposite ends of the spectrum as far as comments are concerned. You either hated it or loved it. I understand that some people may not have been able to see what the photo was about, because in a way it is a little abstract I guess. Thanks again everyone...better luck next time...I hope!!!
This is far more powerful than sweet girls reading books (and I have two very sweet girls of my own). I think you were robbed. Keep up the work and creativity. Much appreciated here.
Not the prettiest of images but a very bold, true, and interesting statement. I do not think of "education" when I view this image, with the help of your title - it's a little bit better understood. I do like the processing used - wish I could do stuff like that - nice work :)
Timeless and brilliant. I hope this wins. The perspective, bottle, focus and processing all come together to create a powerful image/story. I think the perspective and bottle are key. I even just noted the flection in the puddle.
Really great.
Guess by the widest interpretation of the theme you met the challenge but certainly not what most people I know would think of as "education." Technically it's a good shot with nice lighting and great use of noise.
