This shot was intended to have the strings on it. I did try a version (the basic rules wouldn't allow me to though) of it without the lines! It does have a totally diff punch. But, no spot editing, yes shiny little strings. I'll try and find the original one I tried to immitate, wich does have the strings, and looks very nice!

You made excessive use of neat image. Your idea is good, well done. You might have chosen almost onvisible nylon to suspend the city. 8.

Looks like a lot of work went into this shot shot. Sadly I think it is just missing the mark

Interesting idea and good shot. I think if the subject was a bit out of focus it would seem more surreal to me-IoI. Would love to see how it would look in black and white.

Very Interesting but this image would have soared in interest if a single light source were employed. As is, the colors steal all the attention and pull away from the idea. However, the composition remains good. 6

Wow, looks like Neat Image cranked up to 50,000%! I've never said this about an entry before, but this looks like the Neat Image is overdone, though I'm sure you'll hear that from other people. Although it contributes to the surreal feeling a bit, it does some weird things with textures such as in his hair where there are a few distracting sharper pixels, because of the filtration interacting with the texture of the hair.

It's a pretty good image though, and it fits the challenge better than most of the entries.

I'm not too sure i understand how this categorises in Surrealism. Colours are way overblasted on the model (reds) but composition is good. Lighting could've been better on the whites, lots of lighting burns (yellows). 5

I dont particurally like this shot, for one reason you can see the sting from where the ships are hanging down. But i do like the background and the idea of the image.
03/09/2005 08:19:33 PM
if the strings wern't visible it would have a great deal more impact, i like the idea though

I like the plasticity, and the expression of the boy

I dream of no strings... not bad though. ;)

Not surreal and not intersing either.
