These woody, or should I say plastics, photos are always so entertaining. Where do you pick stuff like that up at?

Congrats on your top 20 placing. This is such a creative, emotive image.....makes you feel really bad for the Woodies!! What will happen to them.......where will they go! The plastic fantastics don't look to have half the personality, the flair, the pizazz of the Woodies!!

Great shot adding to my favs!

OMG! I do feel VERY dense (see my comment below). I didn't catch onto the woody people thing. Now that I see the symbolism of it, I understand the picture WAY better. Please forgive me. I bow down in honor of this great picture and its maker. Congrats on your top 20.

07/06/2005 12:48:58 AM
I was conviced this was a ribbon winner....Congrats!

I feel so sad for the woodies, I won't rest until you create another image where the plastics get what they deserve and the woodies triumph;)

Damn, you was robbed. This is wildly imnaginative and the perfect5 use for woodies, shoulda been a ribbon in my book. WTG on top 20.

An absolute masterpiece. I'm serious. There's so much emotion in this little tableau, and it speaks on a metaphorical level of human lives made obsolete. 10 from me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/05/2005 09:13:58 PM
I love this, it works on many levels. And it's emotive...how can that be?:) Well taken...the white dust(?) is a little distractiing, but otherwise perfect for me..and 10

I have to bump this up to a 10. You just captured to much emotion in the poor wooden family! I love it.

INteresting. but the use of woodies don't do anything for me. 5.

This is GREAT!!! Well thought out, and excellent composition and execution! Almost makes me feel bad for Woody and family :)
Second pass: Bumping up.

(Sigh)

There goes the neighborhood.

Bloody shame. The woody family were so... solid. Dependable in a flexible kind of way. Blended in, somehow.

Incredibly creative!! The best in the challenge, I've been so dissapointed so far in that VERY few of the images actually meet the challenge.

Awesome image!

I'm probably a little dense as to the meaning you are portraying with this picture in relation to the title. In any event, regardless of the meaning, this picture is well done. The nuturing family in the light with the yuppie couple in the shadow. Did you mean to emphasis the chest and pelvic areas of the couple? Technically, the picture is good. Too bad in this challenge you couldn't clone out the white specks at the bottom left. 8

:D i just love woody!!! i think there might be a bit too much contrast here as the brightness doesnt feel natural(or come just from the light source). sorry i dont know for sure(Im kinda new to photography myself) i love the comp. my vote=8

06/29/2005 04:46:42 PM
this is really kind of sad... but a great pic. I would've either made the lower ledge easier to see or impossible to see; but as it is, its a little distracting
