I like this one, for lack of a better word, it's electric, vibrant. Reminds me too of "strangers on a train" - perhaps a stretch or perhaps a bit clichéd, but alas...
could have solved both problems (plant, title) by making the title something reguarding the plant. like "shunned greeneries", to imply that the poor little chloroplast motherfucker was all alone and not doing the funky curvy dance that everything else was. BUT NO. YOU HAD TO BE COOL. oh well. still a great shot, dont know why it didnt get a better rating compared to the rest of what i saw. i rated this pic above everyone else, at a 9.
I bought a little tabletop tripod just for this shot. I set the camera up on the tripod and then framed my image. I made about 30 shots at various exposure lengths between 1/60" and 2" at F8. I used the shutter priority mode for this shot and didn't play with manual aperture at all. I also played with different white balance settings. This is not a complicated shot. It just requires a still camera and keeping people from walking in and out of the image.
I would like to thank everyone who took the opportunity to give me feedback on this photograph. Even though I had a "stupid title", I had a great time participating in my first challenge and I'm pleased with the results. This forum is blessed with some very talented photographers. I hope to improve my skills through these challenges. Cheers!
I hadn't made any comments on this challenge. After talking to you, I found myself a bit more assured of my critiqueing abilities. This is a beautifully colored and executed photograph. The focus is superb.
the light effect here is superb. unfortunately, the rest of the image is lacking a little. the plant in the left lower corner detracts from the composition, and the whole thing is tilted a little to left. if those two things were corrected, this would be very nice.
