An outtake from the Sadness challenge.
My chalk pictures tend to not do well in Free Studies, which makes me sad, but I have nothing else to enter this month. Which is sad, cause I took a superb duckling portrait yesterday, but went home for the weekend and didn't bring my camera, and rollover is today.
Don't scrutinize the earth too closely. I clearly butchered drawing Europe :-P
Also, I swear I am not as bony as this picture makes it seem, its because of the positioning of my arms.

I guess the score is pretty much expected. That is going to be the last time I enter anything chalk in a free study, and I probably won't enter any at all in a while.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his(her) world a little colder
.......
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song(score?) and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
..
Don't let a low score get you down.. Remember why you're doing this, and who you're taking photos for ..
I loved this picture. Okay, it could have been shot from a different angle..
Everyone takes a photo of Atlas from the side .. This is a picture of Atlas from the front ..
Granted, with a rather weird looking globe.. ;)
I love your chalk photos .. I find them creative, quirky and unconventional.. Which is what makes them stand out so much..
Perhaps your score for this won't get you on the top ten, but from the challenge, it's certainly one of the few I will remember ..
Keep shooting .. A bad run doesn't define you.. You're a great photographer with a beautiful and creative mind..
The idea is good, but: 1) you should have caught her feet, too; 2) I imagine that her expression is concentrated because of the world's weight, but I would have liked it different, i.e. with her eyes opened, or grinding her teeth. In any case, something that capture the viewer's attention.
Good exposure and composition. The pose is a bit awkward. You wouldn't get far carrying a weigth with your arms outstretched behind you and above. I think of more of an Atlas type pose with this type of idea.
