all i have learnt from this challenge is THIS IMAGE IS OVER SATURATED! i hope to submit more "dp" friendly images later sometime...... thanks for the comments!!!!!!!
and special thanks for the people who wrote "good" things about it.... :) ...
pity, I too gave it a 9...sort of funny though, it was the first picture I voted on and actually voted it sort of low. I generally vote on all of them then go back and look at my rank breakdown and reconsider some votes....this one moved up CONSIDERABLY. Not sure why but it quickly grew on me...I guess more than anything it is an exercise in extremes in all senses and I really enjoy the subject/viewer relationship.
a wonderful image, the super saturated colours and blown background work well here. the expressions on the women's faces are the perfect counterbalance to the heat of thier saris and the implied heat of the surroundings.
i gave this a 9, and it was greatly underrated by the masses. great work!
I like the general idea of the picture, and even the composition is intriguing, IMO i just feel the background is very distracting a little to blown out.
its a bit to bright
i think that this picture would be nicer if you made the bacground sogter, and darker. the colors would have stood out no matter what. i like the idea though, id love to see the original.
(Ouch!) puts sunglasses on....... saturation is out of control! Interesting grouping, however details are lost when balance is lost as it is here. This is a difficult effect to pull off effectively....
Interesting photograph. Love the colors and the arrangement. But the background lighting is a little harsh, which makes it sort of interesting but it would be nice if it was toned down a little bit.
IMO, I don't really like the blown highlights here. I think you might have been trying for a high-key shot with lots of great colors in the outfits, but it didn't quite make it. 5
Image is overly contrasted and over saturated. The highlights are all blown out making the image unpleasing to the eye and leaving little area for the eye to rest. The subjects themselves are interesting.
