Bummer of a Birthmark, Hal

not quite as half as good as the Larson verson for one you didn't need to muck it up with the poor type you could've left the rather famous caption just be your title and people would've gotten it for sure. and second the target is done in kind of a hack way and the animals are not in the best pose for the situation...if you remember the target was on the front of a deer and it was red and white...the 2 deer were standing still and the one was turned with jaw open to show he was the speaker. IMO this is a poor rendition of a very funny and classic Larson scetch. you were on the right track just isn't done the level of refinement that it should be. remeber every cartoon larson did was hours of work and thought...this doesn't exactly reflect the same quolity (in photo form) as his work did (in scetch).

A Dogs Revenge

nice take on one of Larsons classics....its hard to find a shift eyed dog to hide behind the washer...and as far as i can see that is the only thing that would make this truer to the origional...but no one wants to copy outright....so well done and good luck

This is (and i mean nothing aginst the origional) way better than the origional.

the lighting is more refined with in the technique used in both shots. the sharpness plays better acrossed this than the former...and the face is truly more expressive (when compaired).

to me this tops the origional shot by far. it brings a real conection to the viewer that the other failed to have at any high level.

the energy to is different here, and conveys different feeling and emotional value...it is far less cold. and far more touching/caring.

truly a great image....with alot to say.

the title suites it as well.

i don't think so. but that is chicago....i almost when down for the tall ships to do a shot then i thought everyone will be doing that....hmm i gess if two is everyone i was right....anyhow.

its a nice image the water has a very cyan cast that would be nicer if it were a deep blue..its all the the color adj.

and the whites are pinkish...i'm gessing the reflected light from the city and setting sun made this cast.

good luck....my opinion it isn't quite as gripping as it needs to be to pull off a high placement but never the less good luck and don't let my opinion dount you. 6

ahhh, i've found the artistic image from germany, that will in all probabillity (sp.) get lost in the shuffel between images that are less worthy to grace the same wall on which this might be hung...let alone the same page. please let my vote lend you some help in this matter little as it might be. good luck 10

very nice.

i can't tell you how jealous i am i've been trying to get a shot of one of these litle guy for awhile...its the exact same type of bird to red neck and all..i'm not sure the kind of humming bird. but hey its ok i'll just sit here and stare for the next min. or to then i'll use it as model shot for when ever i can find and take the one i'm stocking.

again nicly done, and congrats on the blue

(say when can we get together so an astro shoot?)

30 Seconds or More

the accessive neatimage/smoothing for nosie reduction really kills this image to me. as well as the fact that it is not very strong compositionaly the leading line in the image (the rail) takes you eye to the center where no subject is found....the subject have been split to one side or the other.

IMHO would be stronger if you had picked a side to shoot. and put the rail eigther accross at the bottom of the image...(in the case of the solider field as the subject) or the rail running down the right side looking over the raod toward the city.

in any event it is a passible shot for the challenge but it won't get more than a 5 from me due to the above mentioned reasons.

way over exposed on the front wall, its too smooth and you've lost the texture. up the shutter a smig and lighten the door area in PS later if it needs it.
