Masterful capture. Lighting, subject, content, quality and interest are all top notch. Everything about this image is good. It is one of my personal top three picks for the challenge. Much better than the score would indicate.
I got it too, made me chuckle. As the mother of three, two of which used these(does that make me dumb?) :), I can appreciate the title and the well shot photo.
How about cropping to make square?
Very great idea. The background, focus, color, and DOF are great. I love how the clear ring melts away. I do not like the spit on the nipple though. nice touch, but will put people off.
Can't imagine the relationship between the title and the image. Are babies dummies? I hope you don't think so! Picture is so-so but not much to keep looking at. Framing is nice.
Nice idea... the lighting seems too strong though - I would prefer if the clear handle was more firmly defined by light/ shadow. Would also prefer if the pacifier were either more accurately centred or more obviously off-centre within the composition.
You know, I actually thought of doing this - and I'm glad I didn't because I just know it would not have looked half as good as this. Also the wife wouldn't buy me one in case I got ideas and tried to shove in the cats mouth. the colour, detail, composition and focus is brilliant. I was going to give it a 9, but upon seeing the spit all over it won my heart over completely - so it's a 10.
Love the colors and bright lighting, makes for a punchy/high contrast pic. The drool was a nice added touch. ;) Somehow I'd imagine the infant owner of this freshly plucked pacifier would be anything BUT silent right about now. Nice shot, different, keep 'em coming. :)
Great, clear shot. Any parent will know how this conveys silence. I like the lighting, the focus is right on, and I even think the border is a good choice.
Very clear and sharp. I do like the way the colors are presented here, especially against the pure white background. I see you have also mastered the lighting perfectly, revealing only minimal shadows. Exactly as you would find in stock photography catalogs. The inclusion of the saliva running down just adds so much more impact.
i see a pic of an inanimate object. most such objects make no sound, and do not convey the concept of silence. this object is like those - not conveying the concept of silence (the opposite, as the owner is likley making noise right now). Does not fit challenge.
well done image...this is a great example of the power of a title, it's funny and it makes the image fit the challenge but silence isn't the first thing I think of when I see it
I like the image... focus and DOF are fine. Exposure could be better on the left side but it's fine. Only objection is to the title which really isn't part of the photo.
