The dull lighting and dull background are the result of using my cube as a studio.

I quite like this idea. It might have been cool if perhaps the background and base were black, with the odd speck of glitter or something to capture star like reflections. Good luck with the challenge.

Nice shadow

I'm glad you clarified that . . ;-)

I think this is great and I hope you do well. The title is awesome! 10

Makes me wanna squeeze the Earth.

Strangely appealing for such a simple image. I like the way the background splits into two complimentary orange-yellow - I assume that's just clever use of shadow? I'd probably move the globe just a touch leftwards but not much at all. 8

In some ways, I really like this image. Excellent focus on the planet. Colors in background create a nice effect. I think there could have been ways to make the image better, though. For instance, having different lighting so that there is no shadow from the model.

granted, while this is representative of a small earth, there is no context that makes it more fitting for this challenge than for the macro/close up challenge. oh well. i would probably like it more if it was so centered and if the focus was razor sharp. not wild about light yellow, but it's a personal problem. good luck, keep shooting.

lighting could be better, and more focused

Great title! I wish the background were more neutral color.

I guess you couldn't compare that to the real thing but this picture does nothing for me.

Very good title
08/05/2004 12:13:39 AM
Sure it meets the challenge, but the composition is very non interesting.
08/04/2004 05:57:48 PM
nice disclaimer :)
the shadow could have been stronger... and maybe the earth a bit more off center...

not clear from picture, yes you have word it that its mini.. ..

I like the lighting and colors, but I think it would look nicer if it were cropped differently, moving "earth" more to the bottom left-hand corner.

Of course it´s not actual size!
08/04/2004 01:01:58 AM
Simple but eye-catching.

No frame of reference, does not meet the challenge. Compose and photograph something "miniature" in such a way that it conveys to the viewer that the subject of your photo is a tinier version of something that is normally larger.
