Great Picture. Even though it is obviously posed it still really conveys expectation very well. One really wonders what is at the other end of this rope.
interesting shot but for the challenge I would like to see some emotion...maybe a wider crop showing the face with a look of astonisment at what you are pulling would have jump this up more for me
Another more unusual entry - so many images of people looking angry, scared, surprised etc at something off screen - this one is more original and a stronger image outside the context of the challenge. Light seems a little harsh - his hands are partially merging into the background.
Nice idea for this challenge, great composition, perhaps could be improved by backing off on the overhead lighting and adding more direct (frontal) light on the subject. - 8
The one thing that strikes me as odd about this picture is that it seems like the arms should be bent more with the pulling action. Other than that I like it. :)
Love the concept and the execution. My only problem is the rope looks too puny. Isn't that odd? I wish you had used a thicker rope. Otherwise, I have only good things to say -- composition is excellent. Focus (especially on hands) is just a scosh (sp?) soft but that's a nit.
