Spent a while trying to figure out which challenge to enter and what to enter. Then as I was watching a show called "What went boom in the bust."...they mentioned Scrabble and I thought, "sure, why not!"...so off I went to set it up. I tried lining the tiles up, I tried tilting the board, I tried different things and finally settled on this one.
As I took it straight from the camera and submitted it I am very happy with my personal best.
Thanks for all the good feedback and things to try.
I think I would have aligned the word "order" a little better because it seems to me that it is chaotic with the rest of the letters and hard to make out. Good idea though.
Nice idea. Simple and effective. I think it'll do well.
It'd've been nice if you could have narrowed the DOF to make the letters on front and behind the "ORDER" go blurry - I think opening your aperture (by lowering the aperture number) and maybe a narrower angle might have made this work.
It might be nice too if the image was cropped equally on the right and left. Equally a tighter crop on the left would achieve the same.
"in the midst of chaos" Something just came to me there. The chaos might have been provoked more with a grainy feel over the image. Maybe not. Might be worth trying out.
