Technically can’t really find anything wrong with this shot. I like the colors of green on the ground and the red in the background, makes the can stand out more. I do like your choice of DoF, glad the words are clear and the background is blurred. Wish the can were turned a smidge to the left so the word Heineken were more centered. Couldn’t find the shot you were going for as far as being Déjà vuâ€Â¦not saying you didn’t do a good job in that aspect just maybe didn’t look hard enough. Overall it’s a nice simple shot and you did a good job setting it up and lighting is also good.

And on a side note I also received a perfect 5 on the abstract challengeâ€Â¦never have received a perfect anything beforeâ€Â¦always is like 5.3478, or something like that. Guess that means you were right in the middle of the road on this one.

Very odd feel to this. I like how strange and original it is thoughâ€Â¦can see it took a bit of brain power to make it happen. Nitpicking I would have not cut the top of the photo so close to the handâ€Â¦given it a little more room. Thinking your choice of blue to symbolize coldness or even lifelessness has a certain weight to the imageâ€Â¦other just might think it looks too weird. I think you did a great job shooting for the challenge and being creative at the same time.

I don’t care that it is your filler imageâ€Â¦it looks very cool. I have seen shots like this before but I think this is the only one with other cars in the photo alsoâ€Â¦I like it very muchâ€Â¦the colors, the lights, the motionâ€Â¦it all works here. I know this is all about the setupâ€Â¦the end image is more of luck and how many shots you take to make sure you got something good. Well your setup was perfect and from that you got a wonderful image.

As far as meeting the challengeâ€Â¦you did. As far as making an interesting or appealing photo I would say it is lacking. The only focus here is the camera which is the subject only to show that it is a 2-sec exposureâ€Â¦which it really doesn’t do that either because that camera isn’t taking the picture. If you had something in the photo that made you look to the background and tie your image together I think it would have been better. Maybe if you had set the camera up all the way to the right with a small streak of the cars going by. I think you tried hard to think outside the box and shoot something original and I give you points for that. Next time look at the whole photo as one and see what else can hold the viewers attention.

I think this is exposed very well...good use of the flash to burn in the subject and not have a blurry mess. I like the blue outlines...almost looks like his spirit or aura. Very interesting shot. The mike stand coming from the bottom left is just a tad distracting...but you might not have been able to help that due to where you were sitting or something else. I like the expression that you got from him. Overall I like the image and way to make it work for the challenge.

Didn't think it would be proper to put a thumbnail inside your photo comments.
