Rose and Grapes
by Faye Pekas

Comment:
HEY, now I REALLY like this one. It's interesting how some of the lines in the grapes and some of the lines in the rose match up so closely it makes the rose seem almost translucent. Did you plan this (it woulda been hard in the dark) or get lucky??? Nice complimentery hues (not sure if hue is the right term...still trying to relearn all this stuff myself) and textures. The glare around the flame is slightly distracting but not obnoxiously so. If I was scoring it (with no real topic involved) it would be 8 or 9.

Come into the Real World...

First of all it's a very striking image! It has a great eye catching impact with the child emerging from the tunnel into the 'real' world. It's definately a image that will make people stop and take another look.

However; the more I look at it the more I'm drawn to the background. The clouds and trees are a little too surreal for my taste. I think it may be because of the editing AND removal of color. IMHO leaving the color in (perhaps muted) would have given it a more realistic look.

On the other hand...If you WERE trying to make it a surreal image I think that you could have made a more dramatic statement by leaving the colors in and exagerating them.

Would really like to know where this is and what the original shot looked like!

Excellent job!

Definately original in intent. Given the idea here's what I mighta tried different. Don't have a clue if I could pull it off or it would 'pop'..... The ball shoulda been much further away. It has much smaller mass and would have way more energy.... Given enough time...Have someone hit the ball, have someone else through in the club head... don't even know how to set up the camera with ENOUGH depth of focus.... Love the attempt. Points added for difficulty, points detracted for final effect. DEFINATLY MOST ORIGINAL FOR THIS CHALLENGE!!!!

Just Give Us a Kiss.
