Stormy skies are cool. This had to be exciting to see. Good luck.

The approach

Wow. That almost looks like a toy! I know it's not, it's just the POV and the blurring of other elements. Gives that miniaturization look to it.

No kidding! I looked at a field by us the other night and the sun glow was like this. I wanted to grab a photo but my phone wasn't doing it justice. You did well with this one. Good luck.

That's fun. My grandfather played the concertina. Do you play also or just have it as a conversation piece / family heirloom? As far as the photo goes it presents well enough. Did you look at it rotated to the left 90 degrees? Seeing some streaks at the end that would suggest cloned out wire or string that held it up?

These are always fun to take when visiting the museum. :-) Slight nit in that I wish the DOF was including the painting and frame, they seem quite soft.

Some sort of magician's performance? Very grand setup. I like the blue background overtones. Makes for an interesting image.

Originally posted by orvaratli: Originally posted by glad2badad: Love the color. The image seems substantially stretched (the clouds, especially on the right, don't look right, and the guys shoes look like size 16's - maybe they are). Would like to see the settings for this to capture the stars and streak in the upper right and to yet get decent DOF. Cool. The image was not stretched but its shot with a 14mm lens which distorts elements close to the edge of the frame. I hope my wife in the frame does not read your comment though. She uses shoe size 6

Ummmm ... tell her it was a typo? Yep, that's what it was. Meant to say 6 not 16. :-)

Hmm. Thinking. ... I'm torn on the foreground subject being a subject or incidental. Haven't decided yet. :-) Good luck.

The feeling "classic" comes to mind. :-) Spot on for the challenge theme and nice positioning of the main foreground object in the comp.
