Saw a similar shot over at Photosig -- don't think it's your work -- the dice look different. As silly as this will sound, it looks like you had a hair on the negative -- over on the left hand die at the top. The light coming out of the foreground holes is just a little too hot -- like the way it looks on the ones in the back better. I'm also gonna be picky in a stupid way. I know you meant for the 4 and 3 that point toward the camera to indicate the lucky number 7. But one of the dice actually has either a 6 or a 1 pointed up, and the other hase either a 5 or a 2. So this roller rolled either, 3, 6, 8, or 11. :-) Like I said being honery just for the sake of it. :-)

EXCELLENT PICTURE.

baby needs a new pair of shoes. i like this. i think i saw something similar on photosig - maybe that was yours also .. i would suggest slightly reducing the intensiity of the lights behind the collander, or using a little more fill. nice shot

Like the b/w, but slightly distracted by too many holes in the bottom. Good focus on the die.
07/20/2002 09:26:00 PM
nice
07/20/2002 08:34:00 PM
I don't think it's a good thing when the pips on the SIDES add up to seven...
07/20/2002 05:24:00 PM
Nice idea.... i like the light filtering.. and the shadow effects
07/20/2002 02:07:00 PM
Lovin' it. Really great. Only one small thing. Whatever material is under the dice, is a little scratchy and distracting. If it was perfectly smooth, it would truly be an awesome photo. But I still like this very much. Great Work.

Wonderful tabletop shot. Good reflections, strong, but not dominating the frame. The ceiling lights work well to draw the eye and encircle the subjects. Excellent work!

Maybe too much glare from the lights in the front. 7 Swash

I like the use of the round lights on the table here to counter the black spots of the dice. The reflection is a nice touch as well.

was this taken on film...??? Notice the hairmark....

I'm sure Thomas Dybeck would be flattered! This is a good rendition of his 'Game of Dice 2' but what I like about his that seems to be lacking in yours is the softness - you don't see the crisp sharpness of the holes in the colander or the dots on the dice. I think you have the lighting down, but perhaps if you got a bigger colander and backed up - then again, perhaps you weren't out to duplicate but to borrow? In any case it's very good. 7 cthenk

Interesting reflections
07/18/2002 06:11:00 PM
Seems to work well as far as composition, light, shadow and some originality.
07/18/2002 08:45:00 AM
Gooood. Black circles on cubes and light circles on the surface - excellent.
07/18/2002 08:21:00 AM
I think this is a really neat concept :) I think that the image would be better if the light in the holes in front of the dice was toned down a bit and not so bright... = 8 - jmsetzler

how cool is this shot!
07/17/2002 05:50:00 PM
nice blacks and whites. good lightinh.
07/17/2002 02:07:00 PM
Nice picture and concept. Black adn white works well I think, though it might also be interesting to do with some of those gel colored dice and colored lights too. This would be a great poster in a rec room. karmat

Oooh. Dice and spots and reflections. very nice.
07/17/2002 08:21:00 AM
good contrast, composition, stands out
07/17/2002 06:15:00 AM
nice play of lights and darks
07/17/2002 03:16:00 AM
i love the lighting here. very interesting image visually. :)
07/16/2002 04:13:00 PM
I dig it. The lights and reflections work well here. But I think I'd like to see the lights extending to the top of the frame. Also the line on the bottom right is distracting. PS - I just saw a similar shot on photosig - your inspiration?
07/16/2002 04:04:00 PM
Cool shot.
07/16/2002 02:40:00 AM
i love this shot. the reflections are really nice, and I love how you have black dots on white, and white dots on black. A work of art.
07/15/2002 11:42:00 PM
cool!
07/15/2002 10:23:00 PM
Wow, cool picture, let me know if i'm wrong - something smeared on the glass to catch the light from below. Only nitpick is the bit of dust on the left die.
07/15/2002 06:06:00 PM
Beautiful lighting !
07/15/2002 03:55:00 PM
Nicely lit and composed. Good lighting.
07/15/2002 01:59:00 PM
V good B&W
07/15/2002 01:15:00 PM
Super light, good work. Creative too. Kee

Beautiful play of light, contrast, reflections, and space.
07/15/2002 05:36:00 AM
I like this.
07/15/2002 03:31:00 AM
Neat shot, I like the lighting. Black and white also works well here.
07/15/2002 03:00:00 AM
This is very creative and interesting.
07/15/2002 12:28:00 AM
Very nice shot! I espically like the "floor"..
