Another Day in Paradise

excellent shot. i would have been tempted to shoot it from a slightly lower perspective, and maybe with a slightly different pose. i get it from the standpoint of making sure that the viewer needs to be able to see that the subject is reading the classifieds, but the positioning seems a little awkward. love the processing, and the idea is killer. congrats on an excellent finish!!

btw, where's the ashtray ;-)

That was a fairly rude remark. i happen to be one of the the dissenters on this one. This is nothing like Scalvert or Librodo or Larus. Those are unique works with similar techniques. This is the (basically) same shot. it is about the integrity of the site and the photographers. I don't believe it is about complaining, but more about the simple question: why? Raising concern is not the same thing as bitching. I would equally raise concern if it got a 4.5.

rude in the eye of the beholder. this has NOTHING to do with the integrity of the site. it's about how the voters react to images. simply put, THEY LIKED IT. there is no concern here, because if it had been the same shot, it would have been dq'd. and, if you don't like my examples, fine, but you're missing my point: those, and other winners, are here to COMPETE, and they do what they do to get high scores. if laura found a way that works for her, cheers to her.

what a laugh! why enter the same subject again?!? i guess most of the voters didn't realize it until it was too late ;-)

i guess we should ask shannon why he uses plotter prints all the time, or ask manny why he shoots portraits of beautiful girls all the time, or larus why he shoots landscapes and women all the time...

my first reaction was holy smokes, he pulled it off with the same basic shot--and nobody noticed. well, nobody but the 8 that really took offense to it.

thanks for providing some fodder for the b!+chbag ;-). enjoy your well-deserved score.
