Yep, you blew it. This was a 6+ score easily- maybe a top 10. ;-)

SOMEbody's due for his 4000th comment... ;-)

This was one of the few that actually looked like a movie poster! I'm actually surprised at the dearth of really low votes on this one... looks like people actually DID vote as if the shot was legal. My favorite aspect of this image is the perfect wisp of smoke- very well done, and sepia portrait is respectable in its own right. I have two criticisms though...

One is the overall complexity. There's just a lot to take in here, and the right edge in particular seems cluttered. The second "problem" IMO is the juxtaposition of color and elements. The muted tones, sepia portrait and masted ship seem to suggest an older time period- Hemingway, perhaps. Then you've got a character on the right with a modern handgun and what looks like a denim baseball cap. It just doesn't fit in with the rest of the image.

Still, you had a respectable finish here, and the movie poster theme was well-communicated. Nice job!

Darn it, I think my computer is broken... it's got some virus that automatically clicks 10 on just about every photo you enter. Doh! There it goes again. Can I borrow your axe?
