Hehe, but considering the awful and sometimes very funny translations of Babelfish, I'll stick to English though. I think even my German-to-English is better than Babelfish's ;-) |

stephan - i enjoyed your comment, and plugged it into babelfish.altavista.com which actually gave a half-way decent translation for once. i actually thank you for commenting in German, because it just makes things so much more interesting :) |

Ooops. I thought that you speak german when using such a title and somehow I felt invited to comment in german. But it wouldn't be fair to all the other non-german users who look through other people comments, either. Sorry about that. So here is the translation: "Hey, i'm probably the only one who gets the title ;-) Good idea with the milk! Nice contrast of colours white/red/green. I probaly would have used only three strawberries, because I find asymmetry more exciting. A little sad that the milk spills out of the photo, but overall a good stop motion photo."

Thanks to everyone for the comments this week. Yes, I know I left the "green bits" on, but I thought the strawberries would look funny without them, and I liked the added color. The title is German and translates to "Four Strawberries." I'm not German, and I don't speak German, but when I'm trying to come up with witty titles for my pictures, my roommate is always suggesting that I translate a normal boring title into Spanish for added artistic effect. "Cuatro Fresas" didn't really have a great ring to it, so I went with German. I've always loved the sound of the language, anyway.
If anyone is interested, I edited the background and some of the blurs of this shot for a print quality version. I've posted it here: //www.photosig.com/viewphoto.php?id=307160
Thanks again for all the kind comments. |

Hey, ich bin wohl einer der wenigen die den Titel verstehen ;-) Gute Idee mit der Milch! Schoener Farbkontrast Weiss/Rot/Gruen. Ich haette wahrscheinlich nur 3 Erdbeeren genommen, weil ich Asymmetrie spannender finde. Etwas schade, dass die Milch aus dem Bild schwappt, aber insgesamt ein gutes stop motion Photo. -stephan |

Great shot! Either you got this one on the first attempt or you ate a lot of cereal and berries this week. |

Really great shot!I like the stop action of the milk, the color, crisp focus. The only little thing I would have changed is to have a solid color bowl- no design. One of my top 5! |

Very nice. I can just see this on a cereal box. :) |

Not quite as tempting as a cereal commercial, but not too shabby. |

I love how the milk is splashing over the strawberries.... very nice shot! |

Nobody EVER leaves the leaves on, but it does balance the color well. Nice shot--10 |

Reminds me of a cereal commercial. I like it! |

Looks like your advertising cereal??? |

Stoped motion is well executed, composition is very good. One of my favorites. |

There are just too many beautiful shots this week, this is anotherthat really needs to be printed and framed. |

Great splash! I know the greenery looks nice, but most people I know take the tops off erdbeeren before eating them (and slice them). Reallly nice stopped motion. 9 Swash |

Nice photo but perhaps a slightly faster shutter speed would have eliminated some blurs on the milk splash. |

looks delicious..nice stop action on the milk. |

great berries, and the stop motion on the milk works well. nice shot (7) ~mcmurma |

What a great shot...I was truly dissappointed at the background as this really..really takes away from one of the best shots this week. Still..the stop action is first rate...the berries..while a bit strange having whole berries including stems in a cereal bowl does not hurt too badly and helps overall shape and texture..but the very bad background is KILLING this shot....still...8.....hokie |

love the stop motion, the arrangment, very very good 8 |

Nice action photo. I like the colours. The picture is very clear. (But I did have to translate the title to understand it - sorry I didn't know that Erdbeeren meant Strawberries) 9/10 |

This is one of my favorite breakfast treats :) I would love to hear the translation of the title :) = 9 - jmsetzler |

I struggled with a similar shot and finally gave up and entered something else. Good work. |

Nice, very nice! Could be a commercial art piece. Nice lighting, good capture of the action, good composition, sharp focus, and great color. |

You're spilling the milk. Not sure about you, butI always take the leaves off the fruit before putting them in my cereal. hehe |
|
|
09/10/2002 01:21:00 PM |
Hey! People don't do that! That's only on television |
|
|
09/10/2002 12:08:00 PM |
Yum, yum! I liked this picture, the milk splashing over the strawberry looks great! Although I wouldn´t eat the fruit with leaves, ha, just kidding! Good luck! |

That was a great shot, it looks as if the strawberries are almost enjoying the milk being poured on them. I love how the milk just seems to jump out of the bowl on the left.

That is an awesome shot. Great light, I love the milk, especially the little droplets in the background. |

i remove the stem and leaves before I eat the strawberries. I guess it takes all kinds though. I really like the milk drops in mid air. The leaves painted on the bowl on the right are distracting. Great job, 8. |
