| I was wondering how you did this, thanks for the details. I was trying to imagine getting any of my models to let me bury them ;). Congratulations on your ribbon! |

You definitely have a loving wife... I had a buried alive idea... but couldn't find anyone willing to do the shot
Congrats on the ribbon... well deserved. Looks straight out of a horror movie. Reminds me of the pool scene in Poltergeist.

| I just wanted to say great job with the photograph. I had given you a ten on the shot. I wanted to say that I really felt the impact due to the darkness of the soil. It appears to be damp which would make it feel even heavier on my chest. Great impact. |

| Well deserved blue! I really can’t find anything to improve. Your “negative space” angled tilt of the mud adds to the energy of the shot. I actually like the way that you have filled the frame and cut off a little of the hand and head… it adds to the sense of suffocation. |

| 8 - Very good. Criticism; the horizontal framing works well, but perhaps for 'here' and more impact, more height/'space' at the top/bottom may have made this even better in my opinion. |

12/22/2005 07:20:19 PM |
Nice one, The hand in the front confused me a bit first, maybe if you hadn't cut the tip off the fingers it would have been clearer. I like the way it is blurred though. A bit more expression in her face to show that she's afraid of something would have given it one more point from me. The light is also too unnatural for the scene but other than that it is a great pic. One of the best I've seen so far in this challenge.
What is taphephobia anyway? |

| I have been constantly been changing this shot's score between a 7 and an 8. I definitely love the concept, and whole you've got an awesome model, whether it was you (the photographer) or someone else. Immaculate really, but the biggest flaw was within the eyes. Fear is not written all over the eyes, instead curiousity is the message I got in the eyes. It's also great you thought of the hand language. It helped out a lot in the composition and atmosphere of the shot. There's a softness in the hand gesture. Personally, I would have thought it would be better if the hands were stretched out a but more. So I think I'll give this a 7. Sorry though. I really this it's a fantastic shot none the less. |
