Magic Carpet Ride 1

Unfortunately, for this effort, the angle doesn't sell the shot. The shadows from the carpet on the print make it look too much like a print, and the lack of any real depth in the print cause it to look too 2D. My feeling, when I look at it, is that it is a carpet lying on another carpet. The shot itself is quite good, there's a sense of movement in the model, and the technicals are all fine, I just get absolutely no sense of height or of the carpet being in the air.

Wrong decade.

DPCers apparently all suffer from the same memory warp though.

What theory is that, that people will vote you 1s because of who you are as much as they vote you 10s because of who you are? ;)

Looks like people decided not to play this time around. heh.

Not so predictable this time though.. you kind of stepped out of your usual DPC box.. not much.. but enough. It's a great portrait.

Um.. You must have a pretty dark monitor. The editing on this is *extremely* clear. Obvious tool work on the legs and arms and shoulders and head.

Problem with this.. unbelievably nice photo.. is that it isn't *your* shadow. Which the challenge called for. (and which I know darned well people are going to stick to). Great photo + DNMC = an unfortunately low score.

Still.. fascinating angle.

Even on my overly bright monitor, this is amazingly dark.

I can't believe you'd put the same model in so many challenges. You're *totally* ruining anonymity. 1.

(*grin*)

Just kidding.

I love it with the "hairball".. it turns this photo into an instant classic in my mind. Unintentional or not, it got a laugh from me, and is still a pretty darned good photo.

LOL.

Still cracks me up.
