Ughh I had a bunch of stuff written and lost it because my computer froze. Second time around will hopefully be better and make more sense. While it doesn't really meet the challenge, as I'm sure you're aware of, it's still a very interesting picture. Particularly that orange stripe. I voted this a 6. I'm not really sure why, there is no product involved. Just something about this picture that I liked. Page 13 of the abstract catalogue was selling inner peace it seems.
I really hope you don't leave DPC Don, I love that thread you have and your images always show me things I wouldn't think to photograph. What will Team Suck do without it's leader?
I'm going to loosely interpret the French as "may the force be with you" though I do indeed realize that is not what it says. Yet that IS what the picture says, with the light saber losing in this particular battle to the oxidized mini-pebbles who are quite adeptly holding their own. (Commenting only.)
WOW, what a great idea--product shots for a catalog of abstract art! I love it!
I have voted 8 on most of the abstract catalog entries including this one. Four of them I thought were stunning abstracts so I gave them 10s.
I understand that some people are upset about this set of entries. One of the important functions of contemporary art is to raise issues and push boundaries. This often gets people upset. Hang in there!
And yet another in this collusury effort. I ask myself "what product does this represent?" Making the abstract submission the product itself seems quite a stretch for the challenge.
It's a nice image, but I don't think it fits the challenge. Probably would've scored better in the fine arts challenge
