I don't know how you keep pulling this off week after week but you have some REALLY good ideas. I would love to be your neighbor. I have saved you as one of my Fav's. Good work, keep it up. I really enjoy looking at your shots.
Congrats to the next and well deseved blue, Jorge. Where in the world do you get those great ideas? Oh, just noticed the Steve-Poster in the background, nice completion to another striking image.
You are getting really good at winning these ribbons...well done! Congratulations...can you now take the rest of the year off and let some of us in on the action ;-)
The sense of humor and execution are both brilliant and my favorite for this challenge from first site. Congratulations on your BLUE with this outstanding image.
Fantastic image and strong ribbon contender. It has the right overtone ribbon color to. ;) The humorous challenge interpretation, strong technical quality, great post processing and the attention to detail are its strong points. Lighting is terrific. The beam from the outside lamp is a particularly nice attention-drawing touch. So is the bright side lighting from the right. Notable details are the high heals, picture of the "lost photographer" hanging on the wall, and red slip (hope, hope or maybe it is a skirt).
Oh, baby, I like this one a lot! I dreamed about things like this while out tramping around in the burning desert but I'd be killed if people found out this is what we were up to. Let's just keep this little secret to ourselves, OK?
This is now my favorite so far. Love, love, love the portrait hanging on the wall! The blues and spooky shadows are a wonderful bonus. Congratulations on a truly a great entry.
Ha great story here. I love images that have something to tell, and this one does in spades. The lighting is interesting, I like that its very bright inside but not as much 'outside'.. definitely enhances the feeling that we're peeking in on something she'd rather we didn't see. I like the anonymity of the image too. You could've gone the route of the woman seeing that she'd been found out but I'm glad you didn't, this keeps my interest as I wonder what happened and what she's doing instead of reacting to her reacting to me the viewer seeing her. The colors are nice, everything goes well together and while there is pop with the dress its just enough to break up the subdued colors without being a distraction. My nitpicks would be the feet, the light is way too harsh on them so they've been relegated to a blob of pointy white. Normally it wouldn't be a huge deal but since they are rather important in enhancing the story being told, it is noticeable. Also, I'd crop the top, bottom and right edge right to the door frame, I don't think it needs that bit of wall around it on those sides. That's it though, I like what you've done here. I gave a 7 and added a favorite
I was really hoping that there would be more photos like this... I tried to get one of my friends to roll himself up in a carpet for my photo... He didn't trust me..... Great lighting and"off Photo" action. Great idea that's well executed. 10
