Looking Up

Hey dude, thought I´d just rather comment here than reply to your email. I dig this shot but still, not really got that "wow" factor. The lighting on you is good, I especially like the eyes and the catchlight in them and there is good texture in your face, hair and front of the shirt. The colors are also very good, really to my taste and so is the contrast. I don´t really like wide angle shots of people, makes things that are close seem much larger than they really are, in this case, your nose. Also the angle it´s shot at is cool and different but there is still something "off" about it and it actually gives me slight vertigo, it´s a little uncomfortable to look at, think the dark backround that you can´t quite make out is causing that, if it was more easily indentifiable, like a floor with tiles or a little river stream it would be more pleasing to the eye.

Anyway, cool shot, would have voted a 6 had I voted and at least it stands out from the crowd, it took me exactly 3 seconds to spot it from the thumbnails :)

Hey Tim, way to go! Congrats on the ribbon and glad to have inspired you :)

For those of you who are nagging about him "stealing" the idea, get over it! It´s hardly like I invented this type of shot, it´s been done before and I got the idea from a b/w magazine I read a couple of years ago wich had legs in the top part of the photo, cropped off and the face visible in a puddle but didn´t resemble my or Tim´s shot in any other way. Tim took the shot and did it his own way and was far from copying my shot so why should it matter where he got the basic idea from, wether that was from DPC or some other source, does that really matter? I think some people need to realize that there is a whole world of photography outside of DPC.

Thx for the credit Tim and congrats once again :)

That´s a shame Mark, think this one is severely underrated and should have scored much higher. I do feel it could have been processed better, at least for my taste the image is pretty flat when it comes to b/w conversion and contrast, a simple levels adjustment would have made this shot pop much more off the screen. Just PM me with your email adress if you want me to show you what I mean. Anyway, congrats on a great shot!

Jaysus! You really smoked my ass in this challenge. "Congratulations" :(

Hehe, just kidding of course, I haven´t been as thrilled about a 7+ score on DPC in the family since 2005 and woke up real early to check out the result in this challenge :)

Go on, have a bite dearie...
