i didn't actually get this picture at all. political implication aside, i don't know what sport you are talking about, but the whole chance thing i get as well as how this could all recoil back on us. the picture is good, but the subject, for me, isn't. - 4
This is actually quite a nice picture. I like the composition, focus, DOF and levels. Very nice capture of the reflection. You might have used PS to remove dust and scratches. So all that said, I bumped the score down from 5-6 because I can't for the life of me think what team sport this is, team slinky? Therefore, doesn't meet the challenge. (2)
What team sport is played with dice? And what does the spring represent? Am I missing something? I don't recognize the non-US flag. My daughter thinks its Australia. Could it have to do with yaghting? Forgive me for my ignorance on this. Flags aren't something I pay much attention to.
As a still-life it has problems. The downward tilt leaves the impression that the obects are in danger of sliding out of the frame. The chrome background is distracting.
Really nice photo. I like that the metal isn't too shiny and you obviously thought a lot about lighting. It's a good composition. The only real comment I have though is that I don't understand it. It may be a sport I'm not familiar with. I'm giving it a 6.
Not sure exactly what you are going for here. The feeling I get is the US and Britain taking a chance on the roll of the dice and .......?????????? If you are talking about the team effort to go to war, I'm sorry, that is not a sport by any stretch of the imagination. A very nice shot, not sure why the spring is there, nor the dice, technically, very well done, but overall appeal, not really there. And since I can't really figure out the team/sport aspect (which is what I thought the challenge was supposed to be about) I'm sitting at a 3 on this one unless I can figure this out.
I have looked and looked and tried to figure out how this relates to a team sport, as hard as I try I just don’t get it. It is not a bad photo so that counts for something.
