My canned response: whatever one's definition is of fine/contemporary/modern art, I think this entry is too much like business as usual at DPC. In this case: a flower photo. I think it is gorgeous, with great color and clarity, and I like how the stem is lit. I'd have no problem giving it high points in a free study. Still, I give you points for turning it upside down. :-)

Fetishistic! Interesting photo. I'm not crazy about desat in general and the bright red nails are maybe a touch overdone, but I think your entry needed something quirky (in addition to the subject), so maybe the color was the best way to go.

I can imagine this hanging in a gallery show.

At first, I was going to give you my canned response: that whatever one's definition is of fine/contemporary/modern art, I think this entry is too much like business as usual at DPC: another bird photo! But it strikes me that by giving this such an old-fashioned look, you may have actually created something new, or or at least on the path.

I like however the floor surface. It almost looks like an overlay.

However, I like the combo of blur with the mostly silhouetted figure, and the three little ships on the horizon are interesting.

Shades of Wall-E -- I love the "wrinkled photo" treatment.

I think "weird" and "anthropomorphic" describe this well. ;-)

Congratulations, Christopher. That's a cool mug, by the way -- it looks like leather.

Thanks for sharing your settings and process, I'm always impressed when a photographer generously does that. It makes up for not marking your comments as helpful. :-D

Haha.

What a great robot. So weathered, catching him in the snow is perfect. I wonder if the eyes light up (or if they used to when it was new). That thing must be huge -- I'm guessing 20 feet tall.
