I am sorry but this too deserves a ribbon, What a wonderful addition to the DPC archives. This is so well done that I keep looking for its ribbon. I mean, look at the expression on the face and the slackness of the body posture and how nicely it fits with the background and then the fallen and falling apples. A stroke of genius. Congratulations on your 4th place.
I suppose I would be quibbling to notice that this is not an apple tree. ...or that the falling apple looks to be the size of a plum. On the other hand, the photo is well made and it does mark one of science's celebrated historical events. So, since this is a photo contest and not a science project.... 7
Great photograph. I love the composition and lighting. It is perfect. My only complaint, the apple in the air is too perfect. It should be in some awkward position, and probably not as red. It looks redder and smaller than the other apples.
If I was going to nitpick I would say that ti doesn't look like an apple tree : ) but hey - what's wrong with a bit of artistic license to get a setting like this.
very nice shot, i like the spotlight effect on newton and his apples. the unfortunate thing about it, is that i can see the string that's holding the apple. if i may suggest, hanging the apple at an angle may have been better, as it looks set up here. great idea and processing though :) 8
Seems like a mash-up of multiple photos. Or else, your trigger finger is FANTASTIC to catch the apple on the way down. I am distracted by the placement of his right hand ...
Having seen another Newton's apple I started contemplating an almost identical shot to this should there be another Science challenge, but you got there first!
