Really Great. (Running out of steam for commenting - so being brief) great idea, composition, lighting, color, dof - all great for this image! I can see a lot of time, effort and skill in this image. Great work 9 Ruthann
Weird and wonderful. I really like the black curve at the lower right and how it balances with the black background at top left. I like the angle, I like the text and I like the DOF. And it's yellow. :) 7, Kavey
Great effect. Looks like it was done in a glass or some kind of curved glass. I like how you have the soft focus on the word "soft" lol Pretty neat. The lighting is great. I wonder why there is a green outline. was is something to do with the way you acchieved the curved "blooming" look? Not complaining, just curious. Actually, I think it adds to the photo by giving it an edge so the yellow doesn't just fall into the black background. Cool. I like it. Good luck with the challenge.
interesting perspective - I think you were going for that soft blur-distorted abstract look with a sharp focus at the lower left ROT but, my experience here is that abstract is not readily understood here. I hope you are scoring better than I think you might be.... I'm not sure if I would hang this up anywhere, I think it might lose something in a larger size and become too grainy. It is a good representation of the challenge.... =7 syamjonimi ;'-D
awesome. absolutely love this. i love the way the yellow bleeds down to the lower right hand corner. you have taken a very boring subject and made it interesting to look at good job. 9
I see the pencil but don't understand the title. Are you trying to portray the pencil as one of those macro flower shots? The image doesn't grab me though, whatever your intent was. Overall there is too much blurryness for my taste. 5 Journey Update: ignore my previous comment since this image has really been growing on me and like it more and more. Had already raised it to a 7 and now make it a 9 Journey Over the week this image has really been growing to me. I love the pencil presented as a flower shot. Great dof. 10 Journey
