Took this photo in my room. I used my self as a model :)

Used a TriLite lamp to light it. I'm quite happy with the contrast in the picture. Also the composition.

This was taken for the transportation challenge. This is the oldest method of transportation.

Title: Consider Me Gone, by Arnit

Composition: The composition of this shot is done real well. I like the way the right side of the foot and calf just blend into the background with no absolute definition, in contrast to the opposite side which is very defined. Your choice of B/W is right on, and it was executed with good contrast and use of the gray scale.

Technical: You have excellent focus and exposure, and lighting, with only minor blurring of the toes.

Challenge: Your picture definitely meets the challenge, but I think crawling came before walking, Ha Ha.

Suggestions: There are a couple of things I don't really care about on the picture, it is a great job so don't get me wrong. When I first open it up it doesn't jump up and say "Hang me in your living room". I think a top picture should have that type of effect on the viewer. Secondly, the lines developed by the left side of your image take my eye to two different places. One along the shin area takes me up and out of the picture, and the other along the top of the foot takes me to those soft focused toes. Neither of these trips is very rewarding, which is why I only rated it with a 5 when I voted in the challenge.

I consider you to be one of the better photographers here, which is proven week after week by the diversity of subjects that your pictures represent. Keep up the great work.

Nice photo, with good composition. Not my first thought when thinking transportation but it works. I might have dubbed it Footwork.

Effective simple composition. Can't tell if the toe is in good focus, but all-in-all one of the best shots here

wow, nice shot of a potentially boring subject. The detail in the hair is nice and I think black and white was a good choice. I find the border unnecessary, however. Good job.

This shot isn't very jump out at you but it fits the challenge perfect and its a great photo as far as technique. There is a bit of shadowing but overall I like it.
