From the critique club:
This shot was composed with the abstract meaning of balance and of course chock full of humor. I loved it and it is obvious the sense of humor was not received well by a small block of voters.


I ask myself the question following this following observation: It is a top notch composition using three persons. A spanking and dashing beautiful classic car with a most outstanding color shade. It is outdoors and it is a very attractive shot. Exposure and selective desaturation done very well. Look at this picture and tell me where 29 voters gave it a 4: 7 gave a 3 and two gave it 2. Am I missing something here. The argument that it may be offensive to woman does not even apply, because the girls are not nude nor are they showing more than they have to and there is no vulgarity whatsoever. This confirms my belief that many voters are not here to learn but to express their strong likes and dislikes irrespective of the quality of the image. I am convinced that these low voters have yet to reach the enlightened realm necessary to become top notch photographers. When you put down ideas and quality work, you trampled the very structure one needs to succeed. Come on, judge the image on quality and composition even if it is of a negative subject. This image is at least a six and if you hate the subject matter you take one off. End of case.

Your consolation is that despite these low voters, the image arose to 5.59. The joke is on them, because the majority got the humor and most important appreciated the good quality of this composition. This goes in my favorites. Job well done... dan

Great photo. I don't quite see how it fits the theme.

great idea! I like the desaturation....but a bit too centered for my taste! But it still caught my eye!

Great! Almost perfect but there is a funny color clash beteen the car and the sky. Also maybe dropped to tight on his head?

a balanced composition with great "features". has nice lighting and a lot of intrigue should do well.

Nice !

Cheeky - just! An interesting interpretation of the challenge.

There is a certain balance to the image which fits the challenge well enough. The tatooing is probably the strongest part of the image but you've really got to look for it. Beyond that, I'm a little lost. Sorry.

Is that James from Metallica?
I like the colors a lot. The feet are cut off though, which is distracting a bit. The crop is too tight above his head too. The blue sticker in the window is a bit distracting too. the photo is unique, interesting and creative. Great job!

Balancing 2 women? I'm assuming that this is what you meant... Funny picture though.

I love this shot. The old Chevy is so classic along with the girls and the tats! Just awesome. 62 Impala?

This is my favorite in this challenge because of the cool color of the car.
07/19/2004 07:28:42 PM
This is funny. I like the selective desaturation. I would have liked to see more space above his head and also to see all of their shoes.
