"Just Passing Time"
by tfarrell23

Comment:
This was the first thumbnail to catch my eye. I really like it. It is well-focused and good choice of dof. It definitely has the feel of "time passing." However, there is something about the composition that keeps me from giving it top scores. I wish I knew enough about composition to tell you what it is! Sorry I can't be more concrete in suggesting an alternative. I particularly don't like the point of the pencil facing out. Perhaps someone with more art background can help more. Anyway, it's still one of my favorites. :D

I rarely comment on a person's choice of borders because I can usually look past them to judge the photo on its own merits. However, this thick frame keeps distracting me from what I think might be a very good photo. I would have rated it higher without the frame.

After the contest is over please tell me where you got your title. It's so haunting and so appropriate for your choice of subjects. Good job :)

Legal or not it is beautiful! And thank you so much for sharing your technique. I can't wait to get a lensbaby now that I have the 10D ... but I think it will have to wait until after Christmas. :(

Heroic Forgiveness

Comment:
Zoomdak, I was horrified to see the final score and comments. I applaud your choice of subject and felt you portrayed our Hero in a very artisitic way. The whole Hero challenge was a very profound statement on our time! I shared it with my SS class today. I gave you a high score during the challenge, but didn't have time to leave a comment. I hope that with 2 blue ribbons under your belt you won't become discouraged because of this :-)

In Him,
Di
