why the pink?

that's one way to avoid blotchy skin tones! :-) just kidding. the wild colors do attrack attention, but they kinda of take away from the action. without your title, i would have thought he was putting a stick or something in his mouth. Good framing though. karmat

I like the composition of this, and the colourisation was a bold move (I guess to make the most of a low-end camera), but it doesn't really work for me. It creates a very dramatic feeling when there's nothing to back it up in the image itself. The subject looks contemplative, not as excited as the garish colour would suggest.

I'd be interested to see this photo before the filter was applied. I feel it spoils it for this particular challenge.

Color is ghastly.
09/05/2002 01:41:00 AM
What a colour I like it
09/04/2002 04:45:00 PM
ummmm. I never really liked Andy Wharhol, so maybe I'm biased. I don't think the color choice here did ANYTHING to add to this photo. It makes it stand out, but not in a positive way, at least to me. Composition: I would like to see a hair more beneath his chin, seems a bit cut off to me. Also, the fact that he is looking directly left makes me want to see what he's seeing. Sorry, I can't muster more than a 2 for this photo. It's the pink. 2, just-married

I have no idea why this specific hue was chosen but it ruined your photo.

mood captured - attention caught by something else mid-bite
sincerity of expressions - good

i like the strange hue choice
09/03/2002 08:01:00 PM
Special effect? Too much loss of detail (can you see the earlobe?) 6 Swash

nice timing but I dont see a reson for the color choice. it just makes it harder to see the pretzel.
09/02/2002 10:18:00 PM
The lighting is pretty bad, the composition is also subpar. Surely you can use a flash to help this :-)
09/02/2002 09:08:00 PM
I'm afraid I'm not too impressed with this one. I just don't get the whole pink effect, or what it's trying to convey.
09/02/2002 08:23:00 PM
Don't understand, why red not clear...
09/02/2002 07:51:00 PM
Sorry the color is a bit too much for me.Spiller
09/02/2002 06:41:00 PM
I'm not sure if the red of this photo is the desired effect, but its a bit distracting.
09/02/2002 03:37:00 PM
I'm not too crazy about the pink.
09/02/2002 02:32:00 PM
what's with the colour? Was it purposeful?
09/02/2002 11:29:00 AM
I don't personally like the pink cast to this? What were your thoughts that led you this way? Candid of a person eating, but too cut off at the neck. Quality is noisy. Did you crop a small area from the larger image?
09/02/2002 09:56:00 AM
I am having a problem with the graininess and strange colorization, not to mention the choice of cropping.
09/02/2002 02:13:00 AM
how come you took this in a pink filter?
09/02/2002 12:25:00 AM
The Hue doesnt appeal to me.
