 I am sure this is going to get voted down by all the hypocrits, nonetheless this is a pretty common way of communication on the roads around Washington, DC. =)

Nikon AF 60/2.8D micro, ND4+ND8 filters, f/3.3 at 1/160. Tiny amounts of brightness/contrast tweaking, resize, unsharp mask, frame in ps.

I gave you an 8, dont worry about the hypocrits, you have an excellent photograph that makes a strong statement and has a lot of emotion behind it, great job.

Could"t vote,had few test to study, but your image is good and would not score less then 8 from me. This is great example of modern sign communication between different sex and age groups.

Haha, the steering wheel in the backround really does this one :-)

Without making a PC comment of any kind, the background is distracting. Nicely lit and focused.

In my opinion, I found hand in this image to be poorly composed, with ineffectual lighting, and generally crass. No too mention an overtly sad commentary on societal acceptance.

Though I'm not overly fond of the gesture, it is a great quality image.
Bumping up a notch ((7))

Well it's certainly an in your face image & probably one of the most universally recognised hand signals. I would of liked to of seen the steering wheel a little more in focus .Your frame works well here.

Is the background a car? Whatever it is, the colors are nice and really help make the finger stand out (cool colors stay in the back, warm colors come up front).

Effective, yet crass. A good picture of a butthole would still be a butthole. 6.

Good title might be "Road Rage"
Nice light and skin tones.

Yikes... I would say that its a cool picture, but that would compromise my beliefs... the colors are all very good...
 10/14/2004 11:50:36 AM
That is too literate. A bit more of context would've help.

I don't kwow if this photo would scare potential dpchallenge recruits but it is the most well known means of communication out there. I find the visual much more negative than the spoken word that can express astonishment, praise and even bliss. Excellent Challenge entry. You need two or more to communicate this symbol. At the risk of reputation and lowering standards, my artistic gut give you a 9. Great focus, loved the blurred background, get your nails trimmed. I'd thank you but you just told me off.

Ooohhhh! Very good!

i agree that it is a form of communication, but i think its just a vulgar photograph, a 'thumbs up' would have accomplished much more in my eyes.

The depth of field really makes this shot
