I'm Outta Here!

yes the mm is yellow, but the color is not dominant enough for this weeks theme... even out of focus, taz seems to be the dominant subject... however I can see that you inended shallow DoF and you did acheieve that to the T. nice job

The Look

use some closeup filters or back the camera up just a little..that way focus will be easier to achieve... if your intention was soft focus here, it doesn\'t work, as macros are about detail... plus the heavy saturation makes it look like digital art and not photography... try saturating the color a little at a time and in layers for a more natural loom... adjust color lightness/darkness helps with this too

contrast needs adjusting so the black background is washed out and all you see is black negative space.... needs sharper focus too...

too bright and needs focus + contrast... try a black background as well

cool shot.. I like the lighting and contrast a lot... plus the DoF is great! you should do really really well this week... I like the desaturation technique, however I can stoill see a smidge of color... try doing the desat a couple of times... or more... that has worked for me to really get the color out...

cliche' perfection! with lighting and contrast and DoF like this, you should score really well... the subject presentation however is only standard... if you can over come having a standard presentation of subject for such a superior shot, you might do really really well in the challenge... depends on the voters moods I guess.. good luck!

cool shot... it's really fun... bart seems a little soft though... did you use a tripod? the soft focus makes it looks hand held and that's why the focus is a bit off... I like how you were able to violate the rule of 3rds also... subject placement works really well in this case... not easy to do!

good lighting, sharp focus, nice desaturation of other colors, and really great contrast... but the subject is kinda boring...

really nice and sharp!... just not sure I like the white background with such a bright color... a dark background would give a nicer contrast and really make the yellow pop
