I can't believe this shot ended up where it did, I expected it in the top 3, or at least 10. It was such a creative take on this challenge. I like the 'other objects' a tube (going down the tube perhaps?) And the giant dead flower, such symbol of true beauty being replaced (to me anyway). Thanks for the thought provoking image, sorry it did not fair too well.
i like this idea, but something about how the bw contrast/brightness or whatever has me thinking..its like it needs more light, or more contrast or something in its levels or toning.
Great focus in this shot. The great contrast really adds to the shot. Every item seem to pop out of the picture. Good shadows in the piece helps with this. You can get the feeling of texture in everything . From the pebbles to the backwall. Beautiful shot.
Great idea. The photos a bit so-so though. I think it's mainly in the composition - it's a little too centered. Maybe tighter on the TV and satelite dish, with just enough of the garbage can to recognize what it is, would have been a little more interesting, visually.
Good social comment. You'll have to stop reading the papers too - and talking to people, and listening to radio... Nice detail and composition, as well as a great take on the challenge. [8]
Excellent concept. It's so easy to ignore the effect a TV has on your mind until you've been away from it for a little while. This works nicely in b&w, nice range of tones and textures. 8
