probably the cutes photo I have taken. Got some very odd looks though :D

Post processing was pretty much nil apart from a tiny crop off the bottom -not a fan of Nikon's AS sized output, and also a slight motion blur on the gingerbread man to slightly give a sens of movement. Did try to recreate it without PS but practically impossible for me.

Very cleverly done. The blurry grass and hands brings the viewer right to the gingerbread man, who looks both determined to get away and very yummy.

I think this is a winner! Nicely done
09/03/2004 10:42:34 AM
Excellent tactic to simulate the motion!
09/03/2004 08:02:33 AM
I really love this shot, you've got me believing that he's actualy running away...and those eyes!

Nicely done. I like the inclusion of the grass to provide depth and colour. Also the motion blur works well. 8

Pretty nice, very dynamic. Reagrding the blurred parts I am a bit ambivalent...but I rather like it. GC

I love this--so fun.
09/01/2004 01:47:17 PM
Cool! Real art!
09/01/2004 10:38:12 AM
great idea - nice!
08/31/2004 02:53:31 PM
Very nice - great DOF and blur to show motion and action.
08/31/2004 01:08:24 PM
Good, very good! from the expression on the gingerbread man, to the motion blur, to the grasping hands in pursuit.
08/31/2004 11:10:22 AM
vey funny
08/31/2004 10:08:41 AM
Nicely executed. This was a difficult Challenge topic. Good concept.

Good use of depth of field, though I wonder why the top left of the gingerbread man's head is blurred... almost looks like a slow exposure and that he moved. Could he move, was he really getting away??? :-) Anyway, good luck in the challenge.

Funny. Nice blur.
08/30/2004 11:23:22 PM
haha this is hilarious! I love it. I like how you blurred the shot. great job!
08/30/2004 09:01:07 PM
haha VERY nice, I like!!
08/30/2004 08:06:18 PM
excellent use of movement. did you use a density filter to slow your exposure? or did you shoot at dusk? Very nice capture, and a excellent idea
08/30/2004 04:12:17 PM
Cute, good motion and expression.
08/30/2004 04:00:27 PM
I love it. LOL. The motion in this photo is great, and that's the craziest looking gingerbread man I've ever seen. It would make a great Christmas card.
08/30/2004 12:40:03 PM
very funny
08/30/2004 09:23:39 AM
Creative use of motion blur - I think the effect works well in this image.
08/30/2004 09:07:40 AM

08/30/2004 04:33:48 AM
