Thanks for the comment kenna718. I'm a little disappointed it didn't score over 6, but that is how things go. I didn't do much preparation for the shot. I was just fooling around and this is what I got. I'll be a little more careful when shooting this sort of subject next time, and hopefully I'll do better. :)

Good detail. I like the light along the spike.

6 - I like this - the chromatic aberration actually adds something to the image as well, especially with the colors. Main nit-pick is that the tip of the thorn is broken (unless that is part of the 'concept'). Maybe some slight tweaking of the framing (maybe a border) and/or colors, may have given this a little more. Title suits the image and befitting abstract that, in my opinion, is in the spirit of the Challenge.

i thought this was a slightly melted hershys kiss:) i really like your lighting, its interesting. same with the background

Good one! DOF is maybe a bit much on the base of the thorn but you've singled out the sharp end, the bit that matters to theme, so it's passable. This is a great idea.

more a macro that an abstract

Very interesting perspective. It definetely brings a spiteful emotion.
09/29/2008 01:40:31 AM
That is a great illustration of spite.

such symbolism. great job. best in the bunch.

Not very abstract to me, the focus on the 'spiteful' part seems less focused then the stalk it's on and it's not really making me feel any emotion. I do like the gradient of the background...
