Thanks everyone that took the time to vote and comment on my picture. Just to explain to some that commented on this, the alien is specifically not quite in focus and with the bright backlight to make it more mysterious. After all, when have you seen a clear and on focus picture of an alien or UFO? The elements I used to take this picture was a 1 inch plastic alien (which also appeared on my Fruits & Vegetables picture) standing on a dark blue towel and lighted with a small flashlight. The B&W was done with Photoshop. The title I chose was not my first option, but I thought that something more dramatic like "The Truth is out there" was going to be used by someone else on the challenge. Thanks again to all of you.
Looks like you had a lot of fun taking this. Night photography with a flashlight shining on a toy alien? Decent B & W for what it is. But only a 4 for fun.
The loss of focus in the foreground is really detrimental to this shot. The idea is pretty good and the way the lighting is, it gives this piece a little believablity. The picture should've had the blurry areas cropped out . This would've brought a little more attention to the subject and been far less distracting - Inspzil
I really like this shot... you have done a great job of creating a scene here that looks quite real... the black and white is perfect for this image... = 10 - setzler
It has very good lightening, and creativity is on the line, perhaps, maybe a shadow effect showing the contrasts with the grass a little more agressively. I liked it a lot!!
A salutary lesson for those of us who think we don't have the space of equipment to do elaborate shoots for challenges! This is a really great approach to the subject, imaginatively tackled to create a striking shot. Very well done.
I liked very much this shot, the bright light that outlines the alien's body reminds me of the Close Encounters aliens coming down their ship. COngratulations and good luck! You are my favorite this week!! :*
me gusta bastante, guey. muy padre la silueta al derredor del alien y está en foco! el título no me vuleve loco porque todavía no hay contacto con nadie, pero muy padre. sopresa, vas a riiba de todos (llevo 41). : )
