Challenge:Sticky (Advanced Editing V) Camera:Sony DSC-R1 Location: in my kitchen Date: Dec 15, 2006 Aperture: F3.5 ISO: 160 Shutter: 1/30s Date Uploaded: Dec 15, 2006
I got some sticky rubber glue and stuck two candle sticks together and just before it set I pulled them apart to give the effect you can see, I used blue tack and stood them up straight in it and once I cropped the photo I rotated it so it would look like two items falling apart but being held by the sticky stuff.

Camera Work/Technical: Nice, crisp focus and a very nice white balance that yielded terrific color. The blue provides a very nice background that really makes your subject stand out.
Lighting: I think that your lighting is what pulled this image down as far as your score goes. There are several hot spots from the harsh flash that are fairly distracting. Your straight-on lighting also caused some harsh shadows that also pulled from the end score.
Composition/Content: I like the content, but the composition needed better execution. The tilt of the top candlestick gives a crowded feeling to the overall image.
My Opinion: Great subject and a fine job meeting the challenge. With a little better composition and lighting, this score would have been a good deal better.
Now this looks sticky! Like a terrible sticky monster of some sort. Did you try red in back? (just curious). Makes me want to say, "Good, sticky, and ugly" (ugly in a good sense). ~8
