WOW - so much comments on a 5 pts shot. Thanks a million to all of you for telling me your opinion! I like the pic myself, because you have to stop for a moment to get the point. Some of you were interested in the story behind this shot, but there is no special story. My girlfriend and me were on a weekend walk. I didn't had any ideas for the challenge by the time. But then I found this big roadside billboard and the blue plasic bottle just aside. I asked my girlfried to act as if she is in the poster. The rest was a little bit cropping and hoping, that the blue bottle and the title is enough to meet the challenge. Perhaps I was wrong in this point. But when I look on the score I think, that my actress was a little too perfect :-). Was it really so difficult to realise, that this is not only o photo of a photo?
One of my 10's this week. Very clever!! I asume this is someone standing in front of a mural, or large poster? I love the whole concept behind this. you have done a great job. focus is great, and the lighting conditions are also wonderful. Great shot! Good luck in the challenge. ~hbunch7187~
Wow... At fist I didn't know what to make of this one. Was this a photo of a photo? But the more I look at the girl, the more I see now that she's in front of this giant poster and she's "acting as if she's putting her cola on the stove". Now, that is VERY original! Bravo! 10/10
This is way cool if I understand it correctly. The garbage aspect is a little lacking, I think. I love the photo though - hope you do more like it! (8) MarkRob
Like we need the admins to tell us this is valid! It's beautifully done! I like how the wrinkle is close enough to her hand that it lets us off the hook a little bit, so we're not pained with confusion for too long. :)
I think this is a very creative photo, although the focus here is not with the topic of the challenge...still give you 5 for great imagination and creativity
HAHA. I'm surprised you had to get an admin note. I think a lot of ppl are missing the fact that this isn't just an ad shot because it is so good. It's really an awesome shot. I just wish it had a stronger connection to garbage so I could give it a higher score. Awesome. 8 ~indigo997
All round a great shot - marvellous idea, faultlessly executed. I have to confess I find the "garbage" link a little tenuous, but I can see that there is one of sorts so no penalty points there. And I'm glad to have had the chance to see this picture, garbage or no garbage.
interesting, would like to hear the story behind this one, not sure exactly what's going on. normally i get upset if i can't see the entirety of someone, but in this case the cropping makes sense.
