Nice exposure and details, but not convinced this meets the spirit of the challenge.

the background is kinda distracting. A good take on the challenge, though not sure it really captures the real theme of the topic.

I thought simply depicting a work of art was not legal for challenge entries?? Especially when there's no original twist to the photo, like original lighting or something...?

This could be straight out of an auction catalog, that's the kind of challenge, IMHO, that it would make sense for.

Am recommending this for DQ.

The lighting is nice, but I thought you couldn't take photos of existing art work. I think the center crop throws it off a little for me. I think it should be off centered. Rule of thirds.

Why do I feel a debate coming on about this shot?

Highlights are blown out. Focus is OK, but there is nothing special about the image. 5

Nice coin shot.

Lighting & such are good, but when I see how others have tackled this challenge, I feel obliged to give them extra points for courage. 4

fabulous coin pic.

Beautiful lighting. Looks perfect . Gave you a 9. Would have gave it a ten if your models were real. You should try it.

Riproduz made a lovely nude.

This is a photo of someone else's work of art. It's well shot, but . . .
08/22/2005 11:30:06 PM
IMHO not very original and the medal has a lot of blown highlight areas. 4

What were you thinking? :-P
08/22/2005 10:42:58 PM
interesting take on this challenge.
08/22/2005 10:17:03 PM
Not sure how legal this one is.... lacks originality
08/22/2005 09:42:23 PM
I will truly be surprised if this does not get disqualified. I'm not reccomending it by any means. Hopefully for your sake, I'm wrong.

I think this is great documentation of the coin? or plate, whatever it is. It shows all of the quality, as well as the flaws in the metal. But it just makes me say, yep, it's a bronze plate, great.
08/22/2005 08:47:12 PM
the lighting, dof, and focus are very nice. It looks like the crop may not be even on all sides.
08/22/2005 10:26:59 AM
Considered this a cop out shot. I don't understand why you submitted this.
08/22/2005 07:45:22 AM
I think this image misses the spirit of the challenge.
08/22/2005 03:12:31 AM
i see this more as a study of a coin rather than a human body.
08/22/2005 02:03:45 AM
my guess is you will be DQ'ed for a literal representation of another piece of art.
08/22/2005 01:44:03 AM
photo of existing artwork

I see we are testing the "Literal Artwork" rule. Good luck. :)
