Challenge: Stupid, Stupid! (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D100
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Location: Jonny's Basement, Calgary, AB
Date: Aug 15, 2006
Aperture: F/8.0
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/60 sec.
Galleries: Humorous
Date Uploaded: Aug 15, 2006

So, this idea, thought up with an hour and a half left to go in the challenge. I wish it was advanced editing so I could remove those darn shadows.

Humour does terrible on this site normally, so... here we go.

My prediction: 4.827

Post Challenge:

So I edited and uploaded this image on my friend's computer. His moniter was calibrated very differently from everyone elses, so yea, I wasn't as pleased with this shot, but I am pretty happy with the outcome.

First Impressions: Cute...funny....but something is definitely fishy about this photo...

-------------------------------------------------------------

Composition: The composition is good. I like the dimensionality it delivers. I do feel you needed just bit more on the bottom. The female model's outfit has a knot tied to her top that get's cut-off and kinda distracts. But other than that, good comp.

Subject: Fun subjects. Cute sexy female. Very expressive male. And well...a fish. There is a button that the male model is wearing that greatly distracts IMHO. But that's about it.

Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Okay, this is where I've got to knock the photo a bit. The colors are bright the blue works nicely, but the faces and skin tones come across far to red. Perhaps some selective de-saturation of the reds.

The lighting fades nicely. And does well with the shadows. However, there is a lot of noise and I feel the image could be sharper.

Creativity: Definitely points on this one for creativity and humor.

-------------------------------------------------------------

To improve?: Focus and color processing.

Summary: Fun shot, I scored this a 6.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Lacks sharpness - although I feel this is deliberate?
