Thanks for all the compliments. It's hard for me to understand the comments saying that the shot wasn't from the ground up. This gargoyle is only five inches tall and sits on my desk!

Nice DOF... doesn't seem like too much from the ground up though.

Cool angle and nice colors :)

vey cool statue, where is is from?

Great image and well framed. This looks good enough to hang on the wall.

I really like the subject in this picture, but not sure how well it neets the challenge.
05/02/2002 01:58:00 PM
Interesting phot, great depth of field.
05/01/2002 05:17:00 PM
Nice composition and color.
05/01/2002 03:48:00 PM
This is a great shot however, the ground up concept is a bit lacking in the shot.
05/01/2002 01:31:00 PM
Nice use of DOF, exposure is just right.
05/01/2002 09:46:00 AM
Great idea. Wonderful smile. The more I look at this one the more I like it! How close to the ground were you though? I know cropping sometimes removes the feel of being close to the ground even if you are . . .

Not bad for OPA (other people's art). I love shooting stuff like this, but usually don't display it. Just my thing. Nice open shade with good detail in the shadows. The bg would be better even more oof, but you know how that goes; I'm sure you were at max aperture. Maybe from just a little higher / farther back to include more eye.

Very nice. I like the lighting, color balance, sharpness and depth of field isolating the subject. Good job.
05/01/2002 05:25:00 AM
good subject and angle
04/30/2002 04:15:00 PM
lovely
04/30/2002 12:06:00 PM
I like the colors. Technically, very well done.
04/30/2002 10:58:00 AM
wow, i want one of these guys ! great framing and depth of field control.
04/30/2002 10:04:00 AM
Love your depth of field and interpretation of the challenge. dont like his looks!
04/29/2002 09:07:00 PM
Nice framing, good DOF.

I love the angle and the composition in general of this photo. The depth of field is excellent! This is a very nice photo. I think it's one of my favorites... well.. wait a sec.. hmmm... i see something wrong.... this is VERY wrong... I see a purple pixel in the ear just to the left of the eye socket.. a randomly errant pixel.. man.. this blows the whole photograph... I don' tknow if i can score higher than a 1 for that... bummr... I dunno.. I may need to consult with the higher powers on this one.. I'm thinking hard now... well.. i guess this photo is worth one of my highest ratings on this challenge anyway... Excellent job!

Lovely hideousness! Not much in the way of "ground up", though
04/29/2002 12:50:00 PM
