Good picture. Especially poignant since I am voting on Veteran's day. I like how you have captured a "tough" guy in a less than "tough" stance. That said, it is a bit of a stretch for the challenge (but I *can* see where you are coming from) and his face/hair and a couple of other spots look a bit oversharpened.
i like this picture but i dont think that you should have to read the title to understand the photo. But nice shot and the title works very well with it.
I am sure you are prepared for the does not meet crowd, but that is not the purpose of my vote or comment. For me the image could be better with a couple of things. First the flag in the bottom left is big time distraction. Additionally, it seems to have messed a bit with focus. Move right or get above it and that will dramatically improve this shot.
a bit of a shoehorn for this challenge. Having said that, this is a picture with a message, very well done, and I think would have been better shown in a challenge that suited it more :-) 9 from me for that reason alone :-)
First shot I've seen that the artist saw the word popcorn in quotes meaning it doesn't actually have to be popcorn itself. Wonderful and full of meaning. Even if the flag in the foreground is distracting.
You could have at least tried to incorporate popcorn. If you have to use the title to convince me it meets the challenge, it probably doesn't.
Aside from that, the flag in the bottom is distracting, try taking this from another angle to get that out of your shot, cropping it out might hurt the picture. I really like the reflections on the memorial from the other people, and your subject holds interest.
Well, I don't know what to do. I like this picture, but I think it's shoehorned into the challenge by the title. I'd like to score it up because I like it, but I'd like to score it down because it isn't really about popcorn. Either way, I'm not going to feel right. So guess what. I'm not going to vote. I'm going to say that I like the shot but it doesn't fit the challenge. Maybe that way I won't upset you or unfairly vote your shot. Good luck :)
I really feel that you're making the title do too much work to fit the challenge...and I'm not convinced of its assertion, either.
I do like the character in the man's clothes and age-worn face. Highlights seem a little blown out, especially on the hair. The flag in the foreground wouldn't be so awful an intrusion if it didn't also intersect with the subject's boots.
Excellent shot but doesn't meet the challenge. Without your title there is nothing about popcorn here.
If we all ignore the challenge theme and just enter what we want, then the challenges become meaningless.
