 Was kind of running out of ideas for this week. It's an hour before the image is due and I just got done shooting/editing.

So i went to my Psych classroom to play around with my rat and I decided (just for fun) to throw a remote flash into one of the Skinner Boxes and lower the exposure and voila, got a cool image.
so I took out all of the Skinner boxes, laid them down in a formation, and hid the flash in one.

editing: crop, brightness/contrast, unsharp mask, save for web. simple enough.

the one thing I don't quite like is how stretched it turned out, but I didn't have enough boxes to fill in the room so had to crop instead.

don't have high hopes for this one, to be honest. a 5.5 would make me happy.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

This image, at all levels, embodies the theme of the challenge very well. After reading your setup info, I think you did an excellent job with what you had to work with. Maintaining a sense of three dimensions within this composition also adds a lot to the theme. I can't really offer you a suggestion for improvement on this idea. I like the way you executed this one. Simplicity is often the best solution, and this image answers that call quite nicely... good work!
