Do you speak Teenager?
by Lonni

Comment:
holy crap.

didn't vote or even look during the challenge. A classic photo. Would work great in my house! I try to speak teenager (have one, and also teach high school), and am probably better than most, but is a whole different world! Well captured!

I think you have a little bit of sharpening halos that are slightly bothersome.

I do like that you have a completely blurred background.

This one is nice. I like the blue tones.

Nice... I just shot some of these on HP5. I really like this octopus one. Did you just scan your negatives on a flatbed?

I wish the black surrounding wasn't so noisy, but otherwise I like the shot, and it fits the challenge.

I like the color of this... Its a weird photo... Is the lamp a baby? Interesting choice to crop the face. You've certainly made me think about this picture which is more than I can say of some in this challenge...

poignant and dramatic, well balanced and composed... a really good job... I expect you to score at least top 100 in this monster challenge, and maybe even much much higher.

frickin' ridiculous. This photograph is so unreal, and is an example of why digital photography technology pushes the boundaries of what we can do as artists. I cannot believe how sharp this is, and the colors are so earthy and warm. I think your title is a bit goofy though, I'm wondering why you chose it... Otherwise, my favorite so far although I'm only 54 in! Its a 9 now, but I'll probably be back to bump it to 10. Something is going to have to be really killer to be better than this.

wow. It looks like something out of "Lord of the Rings". A mountain shot that for me stands far above the rest I've seen so far in this challenge... (I'm 40% through)
