What I Saw....

Using very harsh shadows was such a clever move. It makes things look "space-ish", like if there was no atmosphere to protect the planet. The unusual association of colors also works quite well in that regard. Congratulations Paul on the ribbon!

Flying iguanas ftw! After all, some dinosaurs evolved into birds, so it all sounds logical :) I love your imagination and creativity. Congrats on the ribbon!

I just love it. What an impact! It is very interesting to look as such strong and contrasted lines used in such harmony. Very clever editing.

You really are a master at toning your creations. Tattoos and spikes are usually shown as hard, cold and sometimes even disturbing features, while you easily manage to make everything look so soft, warm and attracting. A real visual oxymoron. Congrats on the ribbon!

Perfect idea for this challenge, congratulations on the ribbon! And also thanks a lot for your detailed notes: I suspected it was a single shot, as it is always tricky to create believable DoF in post. Here realism was very important, the viewer had to feel that the "distraction" was in the room, or it wouldn't have been that efficient. So I believe a single shot was the best option regardless of the challenge rules. Oh, and "boo" to the puritans!

As you know, French people are all hairless, so we do what we can to look like normal human beings. Still, we are lucky compared to brainless ones!
