Chin up!!!! I read your post in the forum.......You have nothing to be embarrassed about. It takes a lot of moxxie to post the first time. Keep on shootin...

ps: I was second to last in my second challenge. It bent my ego a little too. ;'-D

Believe you me...last place means you can't go any further down. I'm only going to get better...I promise. I am learning a lot about my cheap camera and am having better luck in getting photos to come out crisper. This one was taken inside where I found that lighting is very important in getting a good digital shot. I've gone outside with all my others.

I'm afraid I'm just not at all crazy about this one. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind the soft focus, and the lighting is a bit questionable...
09/14/2002 02:11:00 PM
focus
09/14/2002 10:34:00 AM
hmmm
This seems to be a very bad digicam. so I will grade purely on the concept instead of technical qualities.
09/13/2002 03:50:00 PM
I like the idea. I just wish that it was in focus.
09/13/2002 01:11:00 PM
The thumbnail of this looks really clear, but then the full size is blurry; it almost looks like camera shake or something. Great idea, and one that i truly relate to 'cause that's where most of my veggies come from too! karmat

the subject matter here is rather uninteresting, and it's also out of focus. a shot like this might also benefit from a straight on view with good strong 90 degree angles. it would help accentuate the repeating pattern of the cans.
09/12/2002 01:46:00 PM
I'll give you 7 because I love the colours and the composition. I would have liked it more focussed. Good luck.
09/12/2002 01:28:00 PM
Neat idea, but it looks like the camera was moving too much.
09/12/2002 11:19:00 AM
Interesting idea BUT angle of shot is not to my liking and focus / colour is off. At least you used your imagination.
09/11/2002 06:35:00 PM
The lack of focus hurts the eyes....
09/11/2002 04:23:00 PM
out of focus
09/11/2002 11:33:00 AM
if you aren't gonna submit a photo in focus... please don't feel a need to submit something.
09/10/2002 11:53:00 PM
Is this a photo of a newspaper photo? Nice use of overdriven color. - mjcecil
09/10/2002 10:59:00 PM
was this so out of focuse on purpose? the idea and composition are good.
09/10/2002 08:43:00 PM
This is certainly colorful! Very good use of colors. The focus is off though. Anyway, best of luck in the challenge. Grayce...aka...Gracious

Hey we shop in the same place! The image for me was grainy and fuzzy.
09/10/2002 06:31:00 PM
Interesting approach to the challenge :) But the focus / lighting really hurts it for me. Also it looks like it's leaning to the left.
09/10/2002 06:26:00 PM
Since I rated this picture so poorly, I feel you deserve an explanation.
1. The picture is badly out of focus
2. The lighting is very poo--overall dark, but then glare is seen off the rims.
3. The picture has no visual appeal.

I usually try to find at least one good thing to say about the picture. Sorry.
09/10/2002 03:11:00 PM
Composition - good
Technical Aspects - fair, needs better lighting
Meets Challenge - yes
Visual Impact / Originality – fair
Other suggestions – looks under exposed and a tad blurred

cheap quality...
09/10/2002 01:13:00 PM
Wish this were in crisp focus.
09/10/2002 12:05:00 PM
totally out of focus
09/09/2002 09:26:00 PM
I'd have preferred to see the real thing.
09/09/2002 08:52:00 PM
completely out of focus.
09/09/2002 04:34:00 PM
Not really sure where to begin. Lighting is a bit odd, focus is weird. Meets the challenge.
09/09/2002 04:17:00 PM
Focus? Nothing is clear in this photo. Lighting isn't great. 5 Swash
09/09/2002 03:31:00 PM
The concept here is not a bad one, but eh image quality is rather weak. I'm not sure if you were attempting to be out of focus or if it is an accident. I don't really see a reason for the lack of focus... - jmsetzler
09/09/2002 02:43:00 PM
Would have been much better in focus! 3 Jak
09/09/2002 02:11:00 PM
nice different take on the challenge, but the photo seems all blurred and there's a hotspot on the top left can. -- gr8photos.
09/09/2002 01:29:00 PM
blurry, is this just from the use of a cheaper camera? It looks as if it was a picture of something on tv
09/09/2002 01:22:00 PM
I like the angle and colors but it needs more focus.
09/09/2002 10:08:00 AM
Too blurry for my liking.
09/09/2002 09:20:00 AM
Great idea, but the soft focus takes a lot away from the shot...
