| This is a really cool shot, it seems so simple to execute but the effect is really trippy. |

Congrats!! I didn't vote on this challenge as I have never seen the movie and didn't think I could do it fairly. However, from what I understand, you have done an excellent job at meeting this challenge. I found this picture to be extremely well set up and shot. It is one of those that makes me go, "Dang, I wish I'd thought of something like that." Very creative, I think. The only minor nitpicky thing I could even imagine to say would be that I wish it was a bit wider. But upon reading your comments, both before voting and after, I think I understand why you did it that way. Even after reading about what you were calling distortion, I don't think it is noticeable at all. If it does anything, it adds to the shot by giving a feelign of some depth.
Great work. I know this probably doesn't help you "improve" the shot, but I don't know that I could help anyway.
Best to you in future challenges.

Talk about absolutely nailing the challenge!
This is the first time in over 6 months of voting I've seen a shot and known immediately that it was the winner.
I've also never seen a voting curve that looks like it doesn't tail off until about 17 either! Superb.
My toaster is now officially worried. Well done : ) |

Oh my - what a fabulous feeling. Whoooo.
I thought as soon as I got the idea (and that was almost as soon as I read the challenge) that it would be a winner, provided I could control the reflections in the glossy paper - and that proved to be no problem. Had to drop more of the tear than I wanted due to it saying 'Epson' on the back. What I didn't expect was to be up in this rarefied air of 22nd ever (and 3rd with the 602z).
JJ - the air feels great, as you should know very well!
Fiver - unlucky - it's a Creative/S3 Savage 4 :-)
One thing no-one picked up on that really bothered me: the perspective distortion of the video card beneath the picture (I couldn't shoot from directly overhead because of reflections, nor could I tilt the set-up). There actually is that same distortion in the sunset, but it doesn't register, and I thougght it clashed visually.
Anyhow - huge thanks for all the votes: you've all made me outrageously happy.
PS. and when i checked in this morning, hoping like crazy there wasn't anything to beat it, the site was down! Pure agony for about an hour :-)

As for the Video Card... I don't consider myself a nerd, but my first thought would be ATI. Maybe one of their Rage series. |

The urban landscape is out of focus, the border is too bold, the paper is torn ! Just kidding -
this is an interesting and truly different take on the matter. The collage does not 'lift' anything from the movie either! Well done. |
