Great shot but the blurred bar at the bottom is a bit distracting

the blue bar at the bottom is distracting. I really like the focus and the colors. This could be cropped slightly on the right for better balance (subject distance from edge) which would also make the moment more intimate for the viewer. Interesting capture.

The grain is interesting. Don't know if I like it or not. I don't hate it though.

I was wondering that myself! I would like this better with sharper focus and more contrast between the (pieces/cells/whatever it is).

Jar Jar Was Stunned ...

Originally posted by cryingdragon: I think this would have done much better if there wasn't as much PP. Jar Jar looks like he was drawn onto the wood background and not a figurine. I think if he would have been really crisp and clear, this would have done better.

Thanks for the comments!

Since this was a tribute to a cartoon, I felt it appropriate to try and give it a cartoony appearance, especially after I saw how bad the original looked (see below). I also wanted to add an element of unreality by having the shrimp obviously real.

If I had had more time available I would have looked for a better background than the wood, but I was quite rushed when I took this, I think in the last hour before submission time. I was originally going to do this with a T rex, but I couldn't find my son's toy dinosaur collection in time; Jar Jar was a compromise.
