oh wow, this is awesome. great tie-in to that terrible, yet surreal-ly humorous occurrence. good fire texture. not blurred. wonder what settings you used? mag99

this is actually really good. i admit i had only looked at the thumbnail before and not seen what the shot truly consists of. now that i see it's the salvation army with the bell, i realize that, even tho this may be set up, to the vast majority of people this will appear to be an incredibly lucky catch and they will probably rate it quite highly : ) .. i'm just jealous i dont have such a disarmingly cute model at my disposal! : ) .. and as usual, you have a knack for good exposure. mag99

i would have liked this cropped so i couldnt see the base or the concrete. that would have cemented the illusion that this was a person. great colors tho. might also benefit from a low radius high percentage unsharp mask. mag99

Gone Awry

Comment:
we have built our entire society on these all too fallible machines. how could this shot be improved? difficult to say. i think a shot of a computer screen may not be the most dramatic way to have gone.. but since you did, maybe another small controlled lightsource on the person showing their emotion more clearly? i give this shot an 8. mag99.

The Farmer's Friend

please take these comments as purely constructive in intent. this is not a very interesting pic .. has some lighting (too dark), angle (strange above off-center shot), cropping, and focus issues.. doesnt scream tech either, although i can see how you might have thought it would work. prolbably the most effective thing you could have done was light it with some drama, and maybe put some farm related things around it, like veggies or grains or something. . mag99
