LOL!! I just looked up the band the Sundays and wow...Their photo and this one are very similar. Just goes to show you that this must be a really great photo, if one like it has been on an album cover. Sorry I missed this challenge, but I really like this shot.

Thanks again for everyone who took the time to comment.

Yes those are fossils - very small (about 1cm Pyratised Ammonites).

lolly_gagger - When I read your comment I was thinking of replying about living in the UK and how am I supposed to have heard of some obscure US band - then I figured out they are actually a UK band - DOH! Having looked them up on the Internet, I have to agree that the images are very similar. You'll just have to take my word for it that I have never heard of the Sundays or seen the Album before.

Nice lighting, great composition. A ten.

Funky. a bit blurred though, perhaps needs more sharpening ?

as the title implies, the shot really does have great shadows. the composition is good, but I would like it even better if you tilted the camera to place the upper spiral in the upper right corner. also, a greater dof would be nice to get everything in focus. and one more thing... it looks like you boosted the contrast a little too much. but it really is a nice shot.

I love this picture but I think that I'm missing something on it meeting the challenge...great shot, though! - 8

Great technical photo, good subject choice. Superhigh contrast. Excellent effort.

This is a wonderful piece. A tiny focus problem at the top and bottom, but it's pretty minimal. A well deserved 9. Swash

very nice :) the depth of field got a little weak in the top of the frame, but other than that, this is an excellent photo :) good work... - jmsetzler

Nice photo and love the contrast. But focus seems to be iffy in certain areas, such as bottom left corner.

Like the dual spirals and the contrast/texture.

Good subject, well lit and shot. pops off the screen at me. Like it.

this would be a good photograph it the idea hadn't already been used as an ablum cover for the Sundays.........nice try but totally unoriginal

Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.
Composition - good
Technical Aspects - quite good
Meets Challenge - yes. Title helps
Visual Impact / Originality - good

Somethings wrong, but I'm really not sure what it is... Perhaps it's too close. Sorry, that's not a good comment, but I'm really not sure...
08/05/2002 07:38:00 PM
I can't determine exactly what your picture is of. You have good focus but it looks a little overworked in post processing. I like to have the subject jump out an say "I am a .....". Autool

are those fossils?
