Composition - good Technical Aspects - good Meets Challenge - yes, though would have liked to have seen a "business book" Visual Impact / Originality - good
A lot of photographs this week attempting to be funny but this was the only one that made me laugh out loud. Good job. I bet you have got a load of comments about the graininess of the picture, but I guess this is the quality of your camera.
i get it, but don't really think this image was captured well. I'd like more context... a wider shot. Perhaps with other books waiting their turn. perhaps a bigger pot with more books. 4 sjgleah
Nice idea shame about the grain. I suspect the problem here is caused by either excessive compression of the jpeg image or by enlarging a small image or small part of a larger original. Sorry but it spoils the whole thing for me.
Nicely framed--I like how it fills the picture. It is too grainy, though. If it was done on purpose, it keeps the viewer from really identifying the books, which are apparently a vital part of the picture. Did steam cause it? karmat
I thought about doing that myself and decided it wouldn't look good enough to work for the challenge, not with what I was willing to invest into a setup. looks like you tried to keep it simple. too simple for my taste and the quality (focus, colors and choice of books) is pretty low, imho. 4 beegee
I like the color of the burner, and the smoke from the books, but this is a stretch, for the challenge (everybody else is doing it....) For dumb's sake : Cooking the books refers to ledger sheets, not reading books. (sort of a joke) What else is in the stew? (newt of tax collector?) (another joke attempt) The pot is almost too dark to view (thank god for the handle). 5 Swash
Perhaps some ingredients need to be in the background. Take a look at the photos in a magazines recipe slot and try to replicate thier style, only with books instead of carrots, then the meaning will come acroos more clearly.
