Hi, my name is Sola ......

Where's the teleprompter? :D Cute idea. I get the impression you wanted to include all of the reflections? IMO this makes the image a bit too centered with a horizontal split, and the main subject (Sola) too small. The background is somewhat distracting. There's something evident in the back left, but it's not really legible. Either it should be lit up some for the viewers or eliminated (physically, or via curves/levels adjustment).

All JMO of course. :D Good luck in the challenge.

This is interesting to look at, but I don't understand what's up with the tire? Great detail on the debris, and I like your DOF. Good luck in the challenge.

Wonderful idea! You must have spent some time (and money) on setting this up. Too bad it wasn't advanced editing to remove the fishing lines. Did you try despeckle or some similar noise reduction to get rid of the lines? Sorry. Silly question I'm sure. Well done. I'd wish you luck in the challenge but don't thing you'll really need it. :D

Battery Life On Mars!

Cute idea. Almost forgot for a minute that this is a AA Battery challenge when I was thinking about your setup for this. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what kind of pushpins you used. :D Couple of things that would make this stronger for me. The lighting, if more uniform across "LIFE", would be better IMO. The "stars" could stand to be more like pinpoints and lose the slight blur. Overall, nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

If this wasn't overexposed some on the bottom of the battery I'd say it works well. The grain is ok. Some are going to like it, others will not - it's a very polarizing technique here at DPC. This photo reminds me of an outerspace shot, where the battery is a spaceship and the area behind is the gallaxy with a black hole. :D Good luck in the challenge.

Not quite sure I get the reason behind the stacking of the batteries, but it does add a nice diagonal line to this image. I hope you find this humorous - when this photo first loaded I thought the word on the extended battery said 'ANUS'. The light streak on the outside of that battery is chopping off the letters just enough... :D Anyway, it's an interesting take on the challenge. Good luck.

The One vs. the Many

So many lineups of batteries in this challenge. Nothing against yours, just an observation. I like the battery you've selected as the "One" - bright color and the text on the battery going the opposite direction adds to the effect. Lighting is fine overall, maybe some bounced light from the low end side would fill the shadows a little, but the shadows are minimal anyway. Good luck in the challenge.

Hey, that's very cool you were able to get this photo AND you were able to enjoy the entertainment! I really like the emotion you captured in his face.
