| Wizard concept. I do like the box and the excellent cow town, and the harsh light serves a purpose, but I think the composition of box and shadow and backboard could be played with- thinking a closer crop top and left - just a suggestion only because box and view are powerful. |

You gotta love when this happens. You took an idea and made it work... and confusing the eye is always a real bonus.
Are you a native Torontonian or visiting? Either way... as a woman four hours away, thanks for a cool view of the CN Tower! |

| With a little processing, this would have been a killer. Great idea and setup - very creative and original. |

Gee Whiz,  Shutter-For-Hire, if you ever learn ALL the rules, you're going to be hard to beat! Your imagination knows no bounds and your setup, as described, is fabulous.
I can hardly wait to see what's next from you. |

so, 61st eh? i thought i'd do better... oh well =) ok, so the cat is out of the bag now... you all know how I did it...
as far as all the comments... some helpful, some not so much... I am a newbie... and the rules are vague as to whether I can gain depth of field by combining different exposures... yes, I am allowed to do it (now I know...) but honestly, I like it better like this... I LIKE the "Harsh Light" and I LIKE the blur on the box... If you don't, well, boo hoo to you! =) as far as the shot of the city scape... yea, it's not the best shot, BUT the bristol board was MASSIVE! it was four sheets together, so a total of about 5 feet by 7 feet... I had to assemble them on site because it wouldn't fir in my car all put together... I needed Two other people to hold it up for me, and that was the only time I could get the help...
no, as far as the title, some people didn't like the part I added... yes. I know, i shouldn't have added it. It was the second contest I entered and I was still learning about the rules, so I didn't know what to do, I actually took that "single shot, No editing" out and re-added it like 10 times because I couldn't make up my mind... it's not your fault for calling me on it because you didn't know that i was on'y a week old at the time... If I could do it again, I would leave that part out for sure... OH, and to be safe, I submitted teh original fromt he beginning...
on a side note... If I DID want to put that box in focus (aside from combining multiple pictures with the different scenes in focus...) I would have to have either:
a) had a lens with a f/500 stop
b) stood WAY-WAY-WAY back and used a 5000mm lens to gain the depth of field...
I just though i'd add that for those of you who seemed to think that it would be possible with one shot =)
I like it much better this way... it draws your attention to the cityscape...
Thanks everyone for the feedback... I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but i wanted to add it anyways, =)

| I really like the idea behind this shot. I am wondering why you didn't choose to put the box in better focus. |

| This does leave the viewer wondering how it was done. |

| I know we don't vote on titles, but frankly, I hate your title: it's like your begging the voters not to ask for a validation or something. However, I can put the title aside and vote on the photo only: 8 |

| I'm guessing the use of mirrors. This is interesting for a straight-out-of-the-camera. I wish the colors weren't so muted, but this could be because of the set-up you needed to create this. |

| Good concept, but not especially well executed. Harsh lighting and excessive blur on the box. |

Woah, cool idea. I get that it was a single shot and all, but if you could have possibly found a way to get that box in focus as well, this would have been a winner. That and reducing that shadow would help.
Why didn't you edit this? It could have been improved greatly I think.
Still, 7 for it as is. |

| Fun idea. Too bad about the natural limits of depth of field. Would have been more effective if it could have been composed in layers with both parts in focus. |

| Interesting! I think I know what you did, but I might be way off. I hope you explain it after the challenge! |

| Good idea but the end result seems a bit "flat" |
