Greetings from the Critique Club!

Is that really a TV or a cutout and some circuits? Really cool concept here and the execution came out well. I like the lighting and the composition works well for the subject.

You scored well but I think if your emotion was more "over the top" emotion your score would have soared higher, IMO. In other words, be more angry, get out of your chair and look like you are about to smash that tv rather than just looking annoyed. I would also move in closer just a bit so that you filled more of the space around you. There's a lot of empty space which I think hurts a bit.

Other than that this was a winner. Congrats and good luck in the future.

Very nice. Great facial expression. I have a hard time when actually taking a picture to make my face look like I want it to...

I don't know if you noticed this or if it was intentional or what, but it looks to me like there is a small alien's hand reaching up and over (red sleeve, green hand, long and thin) in the bottom right hand corner... it looks like the fingers are playing with a wire inside the TV, thus causing the malfunction...

very clever idea and very well executed. I would have liked to see a bit more light on the tv interior

Absolutely brilliant.

5 - Quite well executed/set up, like to see more detail in the 'frame' and possibly even more of it.

Great originality!

Fantastic idea!
A little too empty though..
It LOOKS like a setup.
The empty wall bothers me quite a bit..
and no 'actual' table?
Oh well.
Yet, very creative!
 06/15/2006 07:26:00 PM
TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 06/15/2006 05:14:16 PM

Hey. This is so clever it's not funny. Lighting and composition quite good too. Hope you do well.

Was this really shot from inside the set? Great idea, great picture.
 06/14/2006 11:27:05 PM

Inside the TV is a little dark but I love this idea & the picture turned out well. Very creative, great job...

Now that looks a little less controlled and a bit more riotish. Nice one. The quality of your images is consistant (if that's Sherwin).
