How about a colony of ants? Or a rotten tree stump? Or a monkey hanging onto a branch by its finger tips? I think a clever use of metaphor would have had more merit than a 'joke' photograph. Don't get me wrong - this photo isn't bad. But Im disappointed that shots like customer dissatisfaction and the .com bubble scored lower.

nice idea and a good photo. i like the colors and lighting. only sad thing is that the photo only fits to the challenge because of the title. but it's still a wonderful photo, so i vote it fairly high. maybe an enron logo on the tent would be nice.

got the biggest laugh out of this one. Only thing I see in my opinion is that it is off center but that is just me. 8

I dig the lighting. The name of the photo should not have to explain it. Without it here obviously it would not make sense. So do I rate to title or the photo?

clever and colorful. kind of a stretch, as without the title it would appear off-topic

I love the humor behind this, the colors, focus, etc. Maybe you should have had someone at a desk or something as a silhouette. karmat

Neat Picture, but it doesn't really fit the challange.

Amusing, but contrived. Technically sound. 4 sjgleah

Very nicely done, lovely colours and well exposed. Perfect lighting. Maybe you wer trying to give the impression of a big dark open space surrounding the tent otherwise I might have been tempted to crop a bit from top , left and bottom. Not a big issue though and I like it the way it is.

Ha. Clever.

I love the colors, very well focused...nice

I really like the colors and contrast here....the peak of green grass in the black is a nice touch too. I can almost hear the crickets. I wish the enron logo were on the tent and there was a shredder parked outside though. The photo doesn't speak 'corp world' to me at all w/o the title. 7 Lisa

Don't let the title tell the story, let the photo tell it. This is a nice ad shot for the tent manufacturer, but without a briefcase, a notebook computer, a cell phone, and perhaps a suit or tie nearby, it doesn't say corporate at all.

hahaha .. good for a laugh, according to the title.

Again it's tenuous to tie a picture of a tent to this challenge just through the title. But it's a reasonable picture of an internally lit tent. Perhaps a longer exposure would have shown us just a little of the surrounding terrain.

colors look great

Cute joke title. With title I could go 6, without title, at most 4. This is a very, very good tent shot. Let's split the difference and call this a 5. Swash

Ironic and funny, Great!!

Thanks for the title. Thought this image was about the outdoors or recreation. Clean image.
07/29/2002 01:32:00 PM
The title plays too much of a role here.

I have to admit that when I first looked over the entire gallery of images, this caught my attention. Nice bold colors against all that black. I really like the lighting, but am not sure about the composition-kind of looks like it is floating in air (maybe that's the intention).

LOL !!!! I love it !
07/29/2002 01:26:00 AM
interesting photo, but it doesn't say 'corporate world' without the title... - jmsetzler

I like the photo, except without the title it really makes no sense.
