the funky processing adds a lot of interest to this shot. It looks like a children's sci-fi novel cover. 7

greetings from the critique club...

I didn't vote in the cellphone challenge because... well... it's a *CELLPHONE* challenge!! Cabbage is more interesting.

You said this was a "last minute submit" but you still checked the box for a full critique. That doesn't seem fair.

That being said, this isn't a bad shot. You are very close on the face, which is contorted by extreme (fake, but extreme) emotion, that plus the narrow DOF, plus the odd framing of the two cellphones, plus the unflattering lighting creates a grotesque effect. One wants to look away, but cannot. The result (in my case) is amusement. You would have gotten a 6 or 7 from me. Probably a 7 since the competition was not good.

Orion and Jefferson

I don't get it. Is this an astronomy joke? I can see his belt, but that's about as much as I know of Orion.

They look like Ted Rall caricatures. This gets my Brown Ten.

Gone for a spin in DreamLand

one of the most memorable images in this challenge. a great example of when excessive post-processing makes an image come alive instead of just being there for its own sake. 10

it's nice seeing cause and effect within one image. and I like the nostalgic (for me) 70's style natural lighting. as casual as this seems, every element in it adds to the story. 8
