1st Challenge entry, happen to be giving my lil boy some popcorn when this challenge came through, so though, why not.
Basically, toyed with different popcorn themes in the lounge, as I was cleaning up, the pile resembled (vaguely) Australia, so I tweaked it, and snapped a few shots.

weak focus and bad background.

NICE. Not even from Aussie land and I like this one. Nice shot and a very nice job of getting the shot without getting a ton of reflection off the wood from your lighting.

Gee is that where you can buy that disgusting looking popcorn? We don't have it here in the states.... Great idea for an image, very unique. A little soft on the focus though.

Nice coloring, textured background. Looks like just a bit of camera shake when looking towards the back of the photo.

It took a second look before I saw the continent. LOL

Nice shot of Australia, the top of the map is a little out of focus though. Try using a higher f-stop so everything is tack sharp. I like the different colors.

Nice idea but focus is off and it needs more DOF.

Nice and colorful, but does not seem clear. The wooden table is distracting fro the subject, it may be the seams.

Great concept, execution. 8.

that's some strange colored popcorn
11/07/2007 03:58:54 PM
the picture's blurry, theres some kind of weird lighting going on, and what the heck were the colors supposed to do?
11/07/2007 02:46:41 PM
colourful

Great idea, but I find the background to be a bit distracting.. A solid background might have looked nicer.
11/07/2007 05:36:57 AM
this needs a plainer background - perhaps blue paper and more depth of field
11/07/2007 04:46:56 AM
creative and nice colors, but you really killed your own shot with that background, it just doesnt fit. The light is also to flat and looks like a simple flash. Reshoot on a beach or red ground to make it more aussie like. good idea though
11/07/2007 03:55:03 AM
Oh I get it more DOF could have helped this
11/07/2007 12:52:17 AM
i dont see the point of focus here
