Hey there -- been busy, wanted to enter, just now looking at the entries. Aweseome. You were soooo robbed, should have been top 20, IMHO. The reason for the score is evident by the comments -- the voters have obviously never seen the movie. Good work! Technically speaking, there's a bit of "tungsten" color cast in the whites & highlights that I might remove if it were my shot.
Yeah, tasteful, hehehehehe :) Would have been even cooler if you had shoved your hand down there, that´s an idea I´ll let you have for "Pink Floyd II" :)
I think this would fit much better with "Welcome to the Machine"! It's an interesting commentary on society consuming the people within it, chewing them up and spitting them out! Seems very soft to me but the concept and composition (with angled black and white background/ foreground) is great.
hmmm, maybe I need to listen to "Brick" again, but this is not the imagery I get from it. Another light source (reflector like a mirror would work) to create a defining "line" of light to separate your grinder from the background would help this a lot. The black just swallows the image. Tighter crop would strengthen your composition too.
Wow, how creative!! It's good to see a shot with this title that doesn't have a wall in it. I like the composition and colors and everything really :-)
I would have had no idea what the this was had I not been looking at Floyd pics today. LOL. Cool shot. I feel it's missing some insane person turning the crank though!
