This is the only photo that made me laugh out loud. I give it a 9 for that, although the DOF, lighting, focus, and detail are all excellent. I just wonder who is your customer???
i recognize this person i think. if it's who i think it is, i guess you DO have a lot of time on your hands! as an image, it's a good bw and the focus is great. what channel mixer settings do you use?
Ever hear the phrase - get a job? he he It's a fine pic, but honestly nothing near going on my wall, if you know what I mean. Tell you what, you made me laugh, so I'll bump your score one point. 6 Swash
This is an interesting shot. Very original. Very nice focus, and just the right amount of stubble. Probably good to keep it simple as opposed to maybe the middle finger, or a finger in each nostril. Although you might want to open your mouth a bit more and show a little tongue. The only other thing I can suggest is to crop out the eyelashes as it tends to make me want to see more of the eyes, therefore distracting from the mining. Your wife must be proud. - 8
oh man your brave.. I bet your score is getting hammered... lol it's disgusting, but great focus and really nice use of black and white... not sure how well it meets the challenge unless your unemployed?
Obviously you are digging for something. But I find this photo disgusting. Didn't your mother ever teach you to not pick your nose in public. Besides picking the nose you should have shaved. And I'm thankful this is in B&W. I can think it is a set up. In color it would look to real and be grotesque and make me sick. I have a weak stomach. But I have to give you an 8 for the quality of the photo - and I don't want to. But I will.
Gotta give you an extra point for the humor (to make up for all the people who give you a 1 for this)! :) I almost spewed Pepsi out of my own personal nose when I saw this.
