This slide was not actually very tall or steep. I wanted to try to re-create (exagerate?) memories I had of an unusually tall slide which, as a child I was afraid to go down. Thanks for your great comments. Although my over all score wasn't so great I feel I imparted the feeling I wanted to, and that's what its all about!
this is a darn steep slide. I'm 23, and I'D be scared. lol. the angle is very powerful. great job keeping annoying glare off the slide. I think the reflections add a bit of symetry to the already very symetrical photo. Great job and good luck in the challenge.
Good idea, but the slide is too short to help me make believe this to be true. The change of perspective by camera tilt is clever, though, and for a moment one can feel that unpleasant feeling of heights. Good picture, focus from here to eternity (almost).
This shows great creativity and effort on the part of the photographer, but the angle is too severe, and, IMHO, distorts the shot, because it looks way steeper than any slide I have ever seen.
I really like this picture. It is definitly childhood without a child! I like hopw the angle of the slide is distorted to look like it might to a young child. Great picture!
This picture envoked such strong feelings and memories, both in my own life and remembering my children, you definietely captured the theme. Composition and framing are good.
Gee I remember this perspective from when I was a child. It was a LONG way down! You've got good focus for this type of shot... haven't figured out how to achieve this yet with my camera. Good color, balance, etc.
Thats funny. Is that slide really so steep or did you work the angles to make it that way? great job. It reminds me of the kids at work who won't go down the shoe slide.
