My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Unless you're some sort of nutter I assume you shot this specifically.
2. Unfortunately I don't recall Anthony Perkins attacking though a sheet.
3. The lighting and exposure is good, may be a little too bright in the centre. The creases in the cloth are intrusive.

Overall a good picture which meets the challenge. 5

Friday the 13th Part VI - Jason Lives

2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Unless you walk around all day looking like that I assume you set this up speciffically for the challenge. Well done.
2. Very good representation of the look and atmosphere of the film, this could almost be a publicity still.
3. The lighting and exposure is very good. It appears that you took a lot of effort over getting the lighting and mood right (you'll probably tell me that it took you 5 minutes). Would it stand up in it's own right though? Probably not as it's too closely tied to the film, which must mean that you've meet and fulfilled the challenge.

Overall a very good picture which meets the challenge. 10

2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. You have obviously attempted to fit any image into the challenge.
2. NA.
3. Good use of lighting and depth of field, the top left portion of the image appears very bland in comparision to the rest though.

Overall a good picture which unfortunately does not meet the challenge. 4

My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. OK it's a camel and there were camels in the film, however I feel that you could have picked any arabian set film and claimed a fit.
2. NA.
3. As animal pictures go not the best. The over-exposure on the head is really distracting and the body lacks definition.

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Pretty obvious that you shot this specifically for the challenge.
2. I'd not even heard of this movie until I saw your entry. Just had a look at the film web-site and from what I understand of the plot this must sum up some of the feeling of the film.
3. Would this image stand up in its own right? Yes, it shows loss and definitely has an emotional impact.

Overall a good picture which, I guess, meets the challenge. 10

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. I suppose it's possible that you can claim this is a scene from the movie, I don't remember it though.
2. NA.
3. This is a very detailed shot and the different contrasts are well captured. Not the type of image I'd go for but I can see it in a gun magazine or catalogue.

Overall a good picture which does not really meet the challenge. 4

Forrest Gump

My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Pretty obvious that you shot this specifically for the challenge.
2. Almost spot on. I guess this is the scene most people remember and as it was used as the advertising image (at least in the UK) even those who haven't seen the film may know it. I could be picky and say that the suit's too dark, it's the wrong type of bench, he's sitting in the wrong place, etc. but so what. You've captured an image that screams its title without being titled.
3. Would this image stand up in its own right? Difficult to say as it's so closely tied to the film. The setting is wonderful and a picture with other people sitting on the bench would work well.

Overall a very good picture which meets the challenge so closely watchout for copyright infringement notices being sent. 10

A River Runs Through It

My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Yes, this scene will be familiar to people who have either seen the film or the advertising
2. This is obviously your own interpretation of the scene and actually quite true to the movie
3. The picture is very strong in its own right. The darker detail in the trees has been captured without losing the highlights in the river. On close inspection there appears to be some jpeg artifacts in the reflections but this doesn't distract greatly.

Overall a very good picture which both meets the challenge and stands up in its own right. 8

Pinball Wizard from Tommy

My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Yes, the pinball scenes are central to the film
2. This is obviously your own interpretation of the scene and none the worse for it, a shot further back to include more of the table may have been more in-keeping with the film.
3. The colours are slightly garish in places, the reds especially, but for a pinball table this is perhaps a good thing, slightly noisy in the shadow areas.

Overall a good picture which meets the challenge. 7

Not a flower

Good use of a natural frame and symmetry. The image needs to be rotated slightly clockwise.
