Challenge: Strength (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G2
Location: Back Yard
Date: Apr 11, 2004
Aperture: 6.3
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/800
Date Uploaded: Apr 13, 2004

 While brainstorming for this challenge, I thought maybe a nice pic of Superman or something to that effect would "fit" the theme. But then I thought it would be more original if I changed it up a little...

The idea was the 'Superman and the American flag' pose - chest puffed out, camera zoomed in on the "S", American flag billowing upright in the background... except here we have a "cheat", big yellow belly exposed, Canadian flag drooping in the background, etc.

PS

(For those who don't know, The Cheat is a character from Homestar Runner:)

Message being potrayed is not clear. Needs fill flash and less clutter (wires in background)

Okay, I'm clueless and have no idea what you're going for, or what I'm looking at, for that matter. Even the title didn't help. Sorry!

oh. Canada. Does this prove The Cheat is Canadian? I hope not. The electrical wires are distracting to me...

I don't know what this is, so it does not convey strength to me. Otherwise the colors are very vibrant though I question the focus being on the foreground swirl instead of the eyes

The cultural references are beyond my ken here. Still, it's good to see a *different* flag.

Maybe it's because I'm not Canadian, but I don't see how this relates to strength.

Hahaha! I wonder how many people know your subject, though. Your score will reflect that...

It´s comic and technically well done. Dont know the main subject character or if he is suposed to represent something. Think most of us have to look at it as some teddy-bear or a toy of some kind which may represent a much creativity but I find the image OK.

I'm sure this means something. Sorry I don't know what. Interesting shot. I think the DOF should have had the head in focus with the body though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/14/2004 06:02:40 AM
I don't get this at all, but that must come from not being Canadien. Nice job on the detail front right corner, and perfect DOF choice.
