Am still unsure of this shot and really wanted to spend more time getting the right pose but am off on holiday tomorrow. This idea was for the May FS but decided it will score higher in this challenge (and this challenge might have hurt my vote in the FS).

Best vid of the year! The making of ITZLI

Andi, I stumbled across the video for this when I was searching for something else in the forum earlier. I cannot believe how much effort you put into this! Unbelievable. Pity it didn't score higher.

Sorry this didn't do better for you :o( I know you put in a lot of time and effort to make the mask but as Eyewave says below, it's the composition that's letting you down...but we kinda knew that already :o( In hindsight waiting for me to visit might have been a better idea rather than trying to do it yourself! lol

You are one sick puppy. And I say that in a good way. :-) Gotta say you masked yourself well - I didn't recognize you either! (And I gave you a 7 for the sheer effort and the rather surprised "damn this stuff weighs alot!" expression.

Andi - I didn't recognise you mate - I had you down for one of the other shots . . .

This is certainly a whole new approach to getting 'stoned' :- )

I like the composition and the use of negative space, but it seems really flat to me. Also, because there is little or no definition between the arm and shoulder and the face, it looks he has no chest and a really short arm.

wow, im guessing this was alot of work. im not liking the lighter background under the arm of your subject, it stands out from the rest of the background. im actually not sure if its part of your subjects body...

Technically not the best, but I'm giving you a 7 for creativity, the work involved in the costume and your expression.

Good! Funny. A little more contrast would have helped balance the negative space -- whatever that means.

hm, cool shot, very original idea

original but I think the shot could have been done a bit better, lighting is good, the body should be totally covered for this and the crop is not on
